Merseyside Street Reporters channel reaches 500 films!

At the time that Merseyside Street Reporters Network began in June 2011 we talked about doing a follow-up training. How about sometime soon?

Our 3rd Meeting took place 8 August 2011 @ FACT and later at Studio 2 Parr Street.

Greg, Nial,Mark and Celia were present

Marc and Richard attended via skype link.

The notes from last meeting were reviewed.

It was agreed that:

We would continue to look at arranging an editting "masterclass"

Greg will work on this and advise arrngements

Nial and Mark agreed to deliver this training/support

We will continue to post up events of potential interest to Network and encouage all members to do likewise

Currently looking at 

Bold Street (Greg)

Four Streets Market and campaign (Greg)

Academys (Nial/Celia)

Asylum Link (Nial)

CND/Greenpeace (Nial/Mark)

Greg will establish contact with NUJ rep and try and arrange their attendance at a future meeting

Greg will continue to provisionally arrange promotion/awareness session with public workshop in partnership with other groups and keep Network advised

Celia Mark and Nial provisionally agreed to help with this subject to time date etc

It was agreed that common sense would apply to membership/posts/videos in terms of moderation until a full discussion about "governance" takes place

It was agreed that all present would encourage new members to come forward and existing members to become active if not already

This will include encouraging reporters to post on MSRN site/include MSRN tag on videos

Mark will set up a new Facebook account for internal communications

Mark will also set up events listing

An e mail list will be assembled and maintained

Greg will look at organising and recruitment initiatives beyond this and report back with proposals to future meetings

Nial will be looking at engaging students with a view to recruiting to Network/ raising awareness of MSRN

Marc will look at some tech issues with embeds to wordpress blogs and hopefully be able to provide a walk thru guide

Use of the MSRN/vsionon  site/pages will be subject of a future "masterclass" (once one of us masters it ;))

Subject to date of editting workshop Greg will propose and organise the next meeting in approx 4 weeks time

We propose using Studio 2 Parr Street as a venue, any suggestions welcome if anyone feels they have a more suitable venue

Mondays appear ok for some if not al and on this basis we will aim for a Monday unless someone has an alternative proposal for consideration.

Next meeting date will be communicated asap.as will details of editting session.

This Monday 8 August we're meeting at FACT

88 Wood Street - L1 4DQ  at 6.30pm

Bring you laptops and all equipment you need. We'll review recent videos (with Skype feedback from visionOntv) and discuss future projects and events coverage. Join us and have a chat about DIY Media, beginners welcome!

Anyone with a Merseyside-based website or blog can embed the video player. Then they get the latest featured films from MSRN automatically (as long as the films are tagged merseyside).

Basically the large player is for a specific static page on a site, and the smaller one is for the sidebar of eg a blog, where if it went in the central column it would soon disappear off the bottom.  

Let's get some views!

Yesterday was the largest strike that we have seen in decades. Teachers and civil servants from PCS, NUT and ATL organised pickets in the morning before a massive demonstration of 4000 in Liverpool which closed the city for an hour - from St Georges Hall and ending at the China Town Bridge.
