[cma-l] Campaign tools

[Jaqui Devereux]

Dear all

I write to remind you that things like petitions are only one element in 
any campaign.  The CMA notes the "letting off steam" of some of the 
recent posts on this subject - we would suggest that rather than the 
sector tearing
itself apart, it would be better just to sign, or not sign, the 
petition.  Then to come up with positive suggestions for increasing the 
pressure on the government to commit to the kind of funding levels 
envisaged in 2003 in the Anthony Everitt report (current calculations 
would make the fund around £6 million - of course we would want a bit 
more than that and we want it to cover community TV as well as radio).

Some of you have produced jingles for the campaign and profile raising - 
if you want to use these on air please feel free to download them. 
Please feel free also to upload any you have made.  The jingles can be 
found at:

To upload your jingles please follow this link:

And upload your audio file using these details:

Username: upload
Password: publicpassword

Then send an email to tech at commedia.org.uk to let us know that you've 
uploaded your jingle, we will publish it to share.

Also just to let you know we are seeking a meeting with Stephen Timms MP 
who has taken over the job of steering the Digital Britain agenda, also 
the Secretary of State Ben Bradshaw.  I have to say that they would 
regard the sector as a bit of a laughing stock if they ever saw some of 
the recent posts to the list.

All positive suggestions welcome!

Best wishes

Jaqui
