> Hi all,
> 
> On Tuesday, Occupy London will be one month old and a number of things will be happening on the day and throughout the week to mark the anniversary, including Occupy London guest editing the Guardian's Comment is Free on Tuesday and a conference with reps from many of the UK occupations this weekend.
> 
> On Tuesday, the press team intends to hold a press briefing so that the media can hear our view of what Occupy London has been up to in its first month and what we've got planned in the near future. Not holding an event like this will make us hostage to the dominant media narative ("but what are you lot asking for...?") and we feel it is important that Occupy writes its own history.
> 
> All being well, we will be holding this briefing at 10am at the Tent City University at OLSX. 
> 
> As such:
> 
> Press briefing - We'd very much like to invite a representative from each working group to give a short (1-2 minutes) update at this briefing. The overall format for this will be intro from press team, updates from working groups, Q&A from media followed by 121 interviews.
> Press release - the press team is about to start working on a press release that will be provided to media at this event and then sent out to the wider media list afterwards. For this we would like to get a 50-100 word update from working groups about what they've been up to.
> Video/pictures - If you have any pictures or video that can also be used to illustrate what you've been up to do send those through too.
> 
> If you can send through your updates to press at occupylsx.org that would be great. If a representative from a group cannot attend, we will get someone to read the written update you've provided. By the way, we apologise for the early start, but it will mean that we get maxumum press coverage for this event. 
> 
> Also, please do send this on to anyone that you think might not be on the list.
> 
> Any queries, do call me on 07745 651634.
> 
> Cheers,
> Ro
