[Nfbc-info] Bridge walk

Fri Aug 14 19:03:31 UTC 2009

>From experience with political events I know that it is a good idea to 
follow up with media on the morning of the event as they need prodding and 
reminding. This is especially true for TV news crews that get their 
assignments on the day of the event depending on how much news is being 
covered.
