[Imc-newsroom] Batten Award

[Michael Feltes]

It seems to me, from reading the descriptions of what they'd like to see,
that we'd be best served submitting our best Newshour, our best print article,
and our best discussion on the Newswire.  I'm thinking about volunteering to
coordinate this, but since I'm a relative newcomer to the group, the IMC's
memories are not my memories, and I can't just think back and pull out old
stories that were some of our best efforts.  If someone could help me with
suggestions of old Newshours to pull out and listen to, and old threads on the
Newswire that were particularly good examples of how open publishing works best
(we may want to suggest to the global lists that we submit from the Global
Newswire, as there seems to be a much higher volume of responses to articles), I
would definitely be willing to write up the nominating letters, edit down
the Newshour to the 10 minute highlights, and pull it all together with a neat
little bow.

The question is asked - can we afford it [Labour's socialistic 
reforms]?  Supposing the answer is 'No,' what does that mean?  It 
really means that the sum total of the goods produced and the 
services rendered by the people of this country is not sufficient to 
provide for all our people at all times, in sickness, in health, in 
youth and in age, [a] very modest standard of life... I cannot 
believe that our national productivity is so slow, that our 
willingness to work is so feeble or that we can submit to the world 
that the masses of our people must be condemned to penury.

- Clement Attlee, 1946
