[CIMC-work] draft press release for upcoming Media festival

[Thomas Yun]

Hello, all,

I've attached the draft press release for the upcoming
media festival in January.  Some details I left out
because I don't know them, like the name of the Werner
Herzog movie, for example.

Please comment and suggest revisions.

Also, very important, Labor Beat has requested
permission to have a table at the festival.  I
personally, being totally biased, think that this
should be okay as they are a bulwark of independent
media.

peace,
t
y
