Still Wondering
I my case and for some others it is not a 'desire' but a need.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/News_release
Writing a press release is part of the process of appointing a position such as this. Press releases are not always for consumption of the media but often are for the direct consumption of a target audience. Even in a limited target audience they are intended to keep people informed and on track, not split organizations into divergent camps.
My interaction with the person in this position is limited. I donÔÇÖt need to have control. I do need to know who to send things to if needed, pay attention to what they say about the goals and rules of this format. The better I understand that the less I have to bug them about and the fewer problems I cause. Given the needed information I frankly donÔÇÖt need any interaction to do what I need and want to do.
In my little recurring post I have been required to pay attention to copyright law, secure third party permissions, dig through internet stories for valid content, secure credentials for access and more. All that process time and effort goes in before I even begin to look for daily content and to put the little recurring post together.
I give notices to the Media Editor when I find something in an obscure BMW non-english website so the home page does not get scooped by Advrider.com or some other site. My goal in this is to make people want to come to our website as the first and best place to get information on BMW motorcycles.
I pay close attention to the print media side. I am careful not to step on the toes of what is being developed there. My goal is not be first with a headline but support a total effort. There are chances to bring the two together in how information is presented that takes advantage of unique strengths of print and web.
There have been opportunities to provide content that have not been pursued because of the internal system does not allow for the timely completion of the process.
I paid attention to what was said when we started this website and what we could do by using both to make the BMW MOA better and richer for all; luddites and techies included.
Do not confuse abstract long term organization goals and possibilities discussed recently or in the past with the need of timely provision of information that may be needed to continue to carry on what is on a daily basis already going on.
So you guys are not the only ones that spend a lot of time in the background. Our paycheck is the same for the effort and work provided. We all have different formal or informal titles in the association. Yet in the end all of us are fellow members.
It is often and rightly said respect is a two ways street, cutting slack implies two linked sides. Most of the time, we ride our bikes on two way paths. When did the core of the question for timely information in start of this thread become a one way track?
