Dear James,

You were lucky indeed. I'm pleased to hear the local news treated you with respect and went away with a better understanding of the science. Where did you say this happened...a town in Oklahoma?

Regards,

Guido

>When the March 2010 events occurred over Oklahoma, the local news stations treated me with nothing less than respect and warm welcome. They were fascinated by the event and the allsky camera. There was no controversy. It was an excellent opportunity for science education. My only regret is that no meteorites were found.

>> I know this is going to sound cynical and pessimistic, but the truth is the truth. NO member of the media who contacts you has your interest, or the activity you engage in at heart. They care less, about you and what effect their writings may have on you, or your future activities. It's all about them and how much recognition and approval they can get by delivering a sensational story, even if they have to manipulate you into making innocent statements and then edit your comments. My advice is that unless your a pro at giving press briefings, interviews and distributing talking points. Don't walk, but run to the nearest exit.
