Photography and the Press at Events

Cameras are normally present at events and sometimes these photos will be used on this web site either as a record of the event, or to advertise similar forth coming events.

Periodically, these photos may also be used in news articles by the vegetarian press or even local or national press. Typically, a journalist would be present at such events and I will normally warn if one is to be present so you can all be on your best behaviour.

Local journalists are looking for a positive story and you can be relaxed if they ask you a few questions. The more fun and friendly your answers the better. Talk about the good things about being veggie rather than the bad things of not being.

With national press you should be a bit more thoughtful with your answers and what is being implied by the questions. A journalist may appear to agree with your point of view just to make you say more - so talk slowly. Regardless of that, journalists are normally fun and interesting people to chat to and are to be welcome at our events.

So far all journalists present have either be veggie or sympathetic to our aims.

By attending an event you give consent that any photo you may appear in may be used by our group to promote vegetarianism. We would not publish any photo that portrayed any individual, or the group, in a negative way.

Any photo you send in to the group will remain your property and where possible credit will be given. The photo may be edited for aesthetic reasons.

Getting the vegetarian message to a wider audience IS THE REASON the group exists.
