HOW TO PREPARE
Documentation:
It is strongly recommended that campaigners bring along their own cameras; digital video and digital still cameras are preferred for immediate availability of the footage. Additionally, please do not forget to bring any software and cables that will be needed to download your footage to a locally-based computer. Digital cameras and laptop computers will be used throughout the campaign and will be located on site, but the more people with the ability to document the better.
Media Contacts:
The media is the most direct method of disseminating the information and for generating attention as to what is happening on the ground. It is very important that we generate as much media coverage for this campaign as possible. In this, everyone has a role to play. As a foreign national here in Palestine, you are of interest to your local media, and to national media outlets, such as BBC, CNN, RAI, etc. Before leaving your hometown, please compile a contact list for your local media (make sure you have name, telephone, fax, and e-mail). Try to arrange a meeting with local media representatives and inform them of this campaign and your participation.
Make sure to find out what the best way to pass on information will be while you are here (fax or e-mail). Inquire as to whether or not they would be willing to accept and print firsthand reports (from you) from the region. Give them contact information to get in touch with you (at least an e-mail address) or the organizers of the campaign.
