Make it 6 date
Response to our correspondents' and
news reporters' seminar, to be held
Ni tuber 4 in the small diningroom ;gat
'tile Bedford Hotel, has not been too great
..to date. Perhaps there are many who hove
intended to telephone about it but ,have
:..negte ted .A.Q... ,oda tt4t4... Giaybe. t hie .are
• others who are plainly too busy just now
to consider dates in November; and it
could be there are still more who are just
uninterested.
An estimated 15 persons have signified
their intere t to date and have telephoned
this office to say they have plansto
attend:""T'hes a very small percentage of
the people in Goderich• and area who
should be involved , in news gathering for
their various clubs and organizations.
- The main purpose of this get-together
is to'•ans ler the questions you niay have
concerning getting news reports into the
newspaper. We are also hoping that some
side issues will come out of it which .will
show us your problems and your needs, as
well as to explain to you the restrictions
which are placed on us, members ofw the
,
ed i to r i a L, staff at The Goderich
Signal="Star.
For that reason, the afternoon *Ill..
include "a formal , presentation including
some history about this newspaper and
the company of which it is only a small
part.;..... the. .basic. ,ru.;les. af. gacid.. rt�a.iistia;
and- the particular regulations governrrrg •
the editorial content of thit newspaper.
'Following that, we are planning a buzz
session, when specific questions ' will _be
thoroughly discussed in small groups. This
will " melt into a general discussion, which
should provide the two -Way
communication' which is so vital when
good relations exist.
Finally, we are preparing a tour
through the"--Signal—Star office and the
printing plant. Staff members here will be
on hand to greet you and to answer your
queries regarding the publication of this
newspaper.
ThaLsounds like a full program, we
feel, which should be worthwhile for
those who take the time to attend, Time.
