[Seattle-editorial] Re: FTAA article (fwd)

[W. Walker]

Hi,

i'm writing to see if there is anything i can do to help get our FTAA
article (already uploaded with pics and some links to the newswire) placed
on the front page.  i believe Emily spoke with someone a few days ago
about this, and got the OK to send it in for placement on the front page,
but it hasn't happened.  Logan has now uploaded it to the wire.

The meeting is on Monday in Quito and the solidarity protest in Seattle is
the same day, so i'm anxious about the time sensitivity of the piece.

i e-mailed Jonathan and he said i should e-mail the editorial collective.
Please, let me know if there is anything i can do to help make this
happen.  Thanks,

Hi Emily, Webster,

thanks for contacting us--the forum for these requests needs to be the
editorial list though, rather than a personal email. I've been out of
town/off email for two weeks, and am just too busy to get anything written
up right now. I'm cc'ing the ed. list; hopefully someone else can do a
feature.

If you want to take a stab at it yourselves (writing up a summary and
suggesting the articles for linking), that would GREATLY speed up the
process. The unfortunate reality is that the editorial group is pretty low
on feature-writers right now--too dependent upon me personally.

thanks
Jonathan
