I just received a e-mail from Sarah Morgan, the coordinator of Yellowknife Torch Ceremony, passing along a message from the Vancouver Sun.
______________
I am contacting you on behalf of the Vancouver Sun. We are covering the torch relay and the torch will be coming to your community.
The Sun has a website that is tracking the torch and I am trying to get your local residents to send images (with information) into the Sun so that we can post it on our website. And “as fast as possible” is our deadline.
Images: looking for images that show:
a) something interesting – the queen charlotte islands sent the torchbearer being paddled in a canoe…or
b) a torch bearer celebrity in your area – ….or
c) something that shows the torch by something interesting in your community
Info needed:
• pls put in “Olympic torch run”
• your town, or community name
• and a little info using the 5w – who, why, what, where and when.
• and finally , your photo credit
I hope that we can compile images from all of the communities, but it is a challenge.
here is the url that you go to on the web to submit images:
http://www.vancouversun.com/send-us-your-news/index.html
but if you are having problems with that, as a last resort you can send them to these two email addresses: sungraphics@vancouversun.com and sunphoto@vancouversun.com
• In the email subject line, put “oly torch” and the “name of your community” and “citizen journalism”
ex. : oly torch – N’dilo – citizen journalism
Thank you for considering
