[CIMC-working] PROPOSED: Interfaith Vigil and Candle light Procession down Michigan Ave

[Doug Morris]

re: interfaith vigil

I was suggesting fleshing out a feature, after the event, by using:
         the text below for description of the event -- which is 
interesting, just a bit colorful
         adding:
         a sentence on the turnout
         a sentence on a main issue pt or two
         a link and sentence to report if that, photo or not
         links perhpas to any other upcoming other peace features locally 
or just to some calendars...

That is a short story block, not just cribbing.

It is the short story block idea in general that I'm wondering about.  Are 
we ok with that format now, as in the current top feature?

After posting the previous note, I had been thinking of going down to cover 
this. Now, I'm not sure, given that folks are debating puting up other 
features, instead of this.  The way that newswire stories scroll off the 
local newswire, well...  sacrificing weekend time, which is precious, 
really, is hard to get motivated for.

Have we had an inter-faith peace center column feature before?
Note: supporting this was based on supporting Garth's suggestion of it, 
amongst others stories, and then seeing that there was a post for it on the 
wire.  Seems good to support well networked events/actions that happen in 
Chicago that are posted to the wire.  If there are other more *important* 
stories somehow, well ok...  But, it does seem ok to post more than one 
story in a day... not sure if we have to choose one story over 
another...  is it just a matter of if we have effort...

The pre-approval idea sounded like something to try for as editorial 
approval seems to be a recurring difficulty for the features group.

I agree with Garth on preapproval for a feature on this:
