Media Request Submission Form

    Hello!

    Please complete this form if you wish to have the Occupy Boston Media Working Group either announce or cover your event, action, or news item. All requests are subject to review by the Occupy Boston Media Working Group, which will ultimately determine what kind of announcement(s) or coverage are most appropriate.

    Please keep in mind that items not received in a timely manner may not get announced or covered! We need at least:

    10 days for a Press Release
    7 days for Interviews/Livestream/HD Video/Photography
    5 days for a Blog Post
    5 days for a Mass Text

    Thanks,
    -- OB Media WG

    Note: If your event is a "high risk" action, please contact a member of Occupy Boston's Media Working Group privately instead of using this form.
