Why do you have an advertising for a party (no matter what political direction) on the startpage??
You know what the "I" in IMC mean, don't you? |

FYI, Jen Walling wrote and posted the article on behalf of the Greens. The UC-IMC did not ask the Greens to write the article and the Greens did not participate in the UC-IMC editors' decision to "feature" it. I've asked the editors before and they've assured me that "featuring" an article does not constitute endorsement of the article's contents.
With respect to Green media relations in general, we generally send our press releases to all the local media outlets. It's up to them to decide what to do with them. |
