The West Australian
Mon, 3 May 1999, 05:00 pmNever mind about reviews - when was the last time you saw a MENTION of community theatre in the West, or the Sunday Times for that matter????????And yes most of us (we) publicity officers ARE tired of banging our heads against a brick wall, it hurts after a while!!Community papers are a bit beter, we (Melville ) have had a good run recently - keeps fingers crossed - but even then it does depend on an interested reporter and how many of the cast come from the paper's 'catchment area'And to think that the Adjudicator for this years SDF is the Sunday Times Arts editor.Suggestion: both Alison Farmer and Ron Banks have e-mail addresses. Why don't we ALL bombard them with complaints/suggestions/ideas?I've done so but being a voice in the wildernes ain't enough, it needs lots of us, and I mean lots (and no I didn't get an answer)SO GET OUT THERE AND START.

Journalists usually have to obey their editors. They're just small fry. Bombarding them would be a fruitless exercise. You're better off going to the managing editors of the newspapers, they make the decisions that count. But, on the whole, they only like big name stuff because that's what they think will interest the most readers.
