8. Why I don’t send news to PeaR • (The questionnaire - September 2007) • The main reasons: • not extra person for communication and news • no budget for translation • nothing newsworthy to report • I forget to post the news items • I do not know how to do it and I feel stupid to ask TF-PR in Zagreb, 21-22 Feb 2008

9. Question for discussion: • What is significant news for the International community? • We have a lot of national news and conferences, that isn’t interesting for European/International purposes. • What is significant news for the European association? That type of newsis not frequent. • I have to give priority to the national news readers. • Not all local news is interesting for an international European audience. TF-PR in Zagreb, 21-22 Feb 2008
