Daniel, glad you got yours in so early, that makes things much easier.
But ,can you and the rest of the team email me your articles instead of posting them here? (almudena.serpis@gmail.com)
Its better to keep the blog just for messages for everyone, suggestions and ideas.
Thanks
Ali

Science and environment
Hi Ali and all -
I'd be happy to cover the Forest story, if you'd like. I'm also working on a story about how PCBs have infiltrated the Norwegian fjords and are threatening to destroy fishing stocks there.
Here are a few other things going on that people might find of interest:
Saturday May 10: Restorative Justice, Quaker Dialogues with Juliet Lyon of the Prison Reform Trust and Marian Liebmann. It's at Friends House, from 2-5 pm. £6 entry fee.
Thursday May 15: Are Women Peaceful? Reflections on the role of women in peacebuilding. This is at University of Westminster, go to http://www.kent.ac.uk/clgs/events/annual_lecture08.htm
Sunday May 18 - Democracy and Dissent with Antonia Fraser, Tristram Hunt, and Geoffrey Robertson. £10, call 0207 709 709.
The Identity of Nations (I'll be going to this one)
Thursday May 22 - Global transport, poverty and climate change lecture at Portcullis House Westminster at 5 45 pm (I work here so I can cover this if no one wants to)
Tuesday June 3 (for later reference) - Security Lecture at the Smith Institute with Jacqui Smith. MUST BOOK A PLACE NOW - securityad@smith-institute.org.uk.

12-13 May: Responsible business summit:it's is too expensive to attend (More than one grand...), so ruled out.
Wednesday 7th May- Argentinean woman gives talks in London to raise awareness of the destructive effects of building dams in the Patagonia. She is touring Europe looking for support against the building of these dams that will damage the ecosystem.
Indymedia.
Daniel and Julian, if you do not have any ideas for news story you can pick the one above or the one on War On Want (trying not to report on the event so much as on the issue, as it has to be current for when we go into production fortnight ).
I will try and get more ideas up today. Please let me know which one you are doing before 1pm tomorrow.

Stories ready for the 19th
Hi everyone,
We need pieces finished before May 19 because there is a mock and we need to start filling in the site. We need at least one story for each section.
social issues- Burma story(Ali), Colombian social movements- 12 May (possibly me, but African org will be there too, it will be good if someone else came too).
I need someone covering the WarOnWant event posted below. If you are interested let me know, if not I will commission it to someone.
economy and politics- Food crisis African child (David)
Indian business men coming to London (Andrila- although not sure)
science and environment-the forest
Filmic insight into the plight of forest-reliant communities (15 May)- I need someone to cover that too.
American hacks into new Mac (anti-corp)- Solange (depends on contact).
Media review- Daniel it would be good to start looking at how the Burma story and the Food crisis are being reported in the British press and abroad. We need commentary and start building links. (I’m working on that too).
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
If anyone sees that a story similar to the one you are covering is reported in a different way in other media (something interesting, unbalanced, outstanding, original) write a few paragraphs about it (or even a few words), note down the link and off it goes to the Media Review section.
Let me know what stories you are doing or if you found new ones as soon as you can, :)
I know some of you have other important roles, but its only 500w max... if you are very busy I will try and give articles to other people, just let me know.
Bexos, see you tomorrow!
