Yes I will. It is almost irrelevant to most readers :-( and
obviously unappreciated by the particular sub editor who presumably
had to cut down to a certain word count.
The really good news is that it is a very visible article and clearly
advertises the event, demonstrations, state of the art software and
Freedom, and free CDs! The 'Free CD's should hopefully encourage a
good turnout if nothing else. I certainly could not have afforded the
same advertising.
I was most happily surprised that the reporter I had contacted had
done her own research - there are several details which were not
included in my fairly long original press release.
