Re: [Wikipedia-AS] [Wikimediaindia-l] [Press]: Lessons and tips on getting media coverage

by Jyoti Prakash Nath

Dear Wikipedians, Apologies for my previous mail that was sent by mistake. Here are some additional news from Assamese Wiki. # 93.5 Red FM broadcasted an interview on Monday 11/06/12 (from 8 AM to 9 AM) with a Wikipedian Jyoti Prakash Nath about the 10th anniversary celebration program. # Dy365 (TV News Channel) broadcasted an interview on Sunday 10/06/12 and Monday 11/06/12 (at 6 PM evening news) with a Wikipedian Bishnu Saikia about the 10th anniversary celebration program. But this is very shameful for the Assamese print media because none of the Local news paper (Except Edinor Songbad) didn't published the news, even their reporters was also present at the event. Also the famous TV news channel "News Live" didn't visited the event.
