THE
Media Question Time will be held again in 2009 after
receiving lots of interest in 2008. As with the last
event the next events will be aimed at letting you, the
public, to have the chance for you to air your views about
how the news is reported in your area. The event now
will move to Liverpool as well as Southport. More
information will be released soon. The format
will remain the same as used in the November 2008 Question
Time, but the panel will change. Just as we did in for
the November 2008 event, we also hope to follow up the
events with full reports shortly afterwards. If it is
possible, the events will be recorded and highlights will be
made available for people to study after the event.
The events will be free to attended and we hope to open it
up to all age groups this time.
2009 Format:- We will
attempt to answer all questions taken in advance and also open them
up to the floor, for your views. Then if we have time, we will
take other questions from the floor.
How do I leave a question?
Questions can be emailed in advance to
news24@southportreporter.com with
the subject and the name of the person who is asking the question
clearly marked on it. After the pre-requested questions have
been taken, the floor will be opened for questions from the
audience, if time allows.
Other media outlets welcome to be on the 2009 panel. Please contact
PBT Media Relations Ltd. via Southport Reporter on 01704 513 569.

THE
2008 event was the first one we have run and held in the Latin
Lounge on Post Office Ave. in Southport. We would like
to thank all the members of the panel, the venue and also the public
for making this event happen. It is now our aim to expand on
this fantastic start and develop this further. This is a
quick summery of who attended.
