Journalists/media during Ecotopia

Hey, dears!

Just got this message and would like to discuss about
this:

>-. A lot of journalists will come to Ecotopia and
>will make reports in the news. Some of them are
>coming even from the most important radio in Russia.
>They will stay in the village. (....) 
 
If i remember right, during Ecotopia there used to be
one day or a certain time only which is open for
journalists to attend.
I think it is very important to have some media
coverage but we should also be aware of what it means
to have media arround.
We all know, that media can be used in a good way, but
also it can cause a lot of problems and i personally
would not like to have journalist arround all the
time, observing our meetings and workshops. 
A lot of people might be scared by that and not feel
free to do or say whatever they want.

So, please take into consideration to open Ecotopia
for (mass) media only one or two days.

We should have press spokespersons than, that take
care of the journalists all the time.

What do you think?
Best regards, Sapi
