[cma-l] The CMA mailing lists

[Martin Parry]

That's a useful clarification Bill. I don't think everyone was aware of the
separate lists com.media. com.radio. com.tv and that's led to a little
confusion. I think we should all try and be specific in where we put
material; and particularly we should try and limit postings to com.media
that are about general (cross platform) principles and practice or very
major announcements, and keep radio and tv specific news and announcements
to those particular lists or else the com.media list will get snowed under.
This will mean people limiting their tendency to try and get maximum
coverage for their announcement, but it's in all our interests that we make
this work.
