Ken,

I'm copying this to our Webmaster to see what he can do, plus to the 
person
doing the press release announcing the winner.

The full Judges' Report announcing the 2002 Roger Award winner and 
the
reasons why will be available online from Saturday May 3.

Put in a Link to www.cafca.org.nz  and go to the Roger Award page.

Best wishes,

Murray Horton
for the organisers

Hi. I'm writing on behalf of Wellington Indymedia. Would your
organisation be able to post details of the Roger Awards on the
Aotearoa Indymedia site?

www.indymedia.org.nz

and go to Publish (top right-hand corner)

Also, when the awards have been announced, can you post a follow-up
news item?

Indymedia is an alternative medium which is non-commercial and not
politically affiliated. It exists for all interested groups and individuals
to
become the media themselves, and not to rely on the politically biased
commercial and state-run media.

Best wishes
Ken Simpson
