PRESS ADVISORY

To all editorials

31 May 2007

Upcoming press service by the international media group ‘Media G8way’
during the G8 summit protests

In the first week of June, Media G8way will be broadcasting  information 
to the international media about the protests against the G8 summit in 
Heiligendamm, Germany. The independent press group, Media G8way will 
send daily press releases about protests and anti-G8 events to 
facilitate comprehensive coverage by journalists. Therefore, the
following services are offered to all journalists:

 From June 1st until June 8th Media G8way will send out two daily press 
releases:

1. An advisory sent each morning about the demonstrations and political 
actions that are announced for that day, and contact persons for each event.

2. A press release will be sent each afternoon and will contain an
overview of what occurred during that day’s events, and contact
persons for those events.

Furthermore Media G8way will be available at the following locations in
the region of Rostock:

* In the Convergence Centre, Ehm-Welk school, Knut-Rasmussen-Str.8,
18106 Rostock-Evershagen, together with the German press group
Campinski. There will be working space with an internet connection
available for journalists.

* In the action camps in Reddelich (next to Bad Doberan) and Rostock
(next to the “Grenzschlachthof”) there will be press receptions at the
entrance. Journalists who wish to report about the camps should register
here and can clarify their wishes for interviews, etc. In order to
secure the privacy of the people living on the campsite, journalists are
prohibited to enter the sleeping and private areas of the camp. In order
to take pictures journalists are required to make appointments at the
press reception.

* On May, 31st is Opening Day at the campsite in Reddelich. Neighbors
and the media are cordially invited to pass by and be introduced to the
camp.

* There will be daily press briefings in German by the umbrella
coordination of the protest movement. They will take place at 9am at the
Circus tent at Rostock Town Harbor.

Media G8way will continue to send one daily press release after June,
the 8th until June, the 15th , about the effects of G8 protests. After
that date the service will stop.
