College Student on team #639, Red B^2, from Ithaca High School and Cornell University. In Reply to: Why do we need the media? Posted by Matt Leese on 04/26/2001 12:34 PM EST: I agree to everything matt says (I think we had this same conversation in the chat room before) Patrick : We constantly seem to be saying that we need to do : this and this to appeal to the general public and the : media. And the question that I keep thinking of is, : why? Why do we need to appeal to the media? We're : here to do our competition. Not one that's hand : tailored for the media. Not one that will appeal to : the general publics desire for violence. There's a : reason that we're not Battlebots. We don't want to : be! FIRST has done fine without very much media : attention for the past ten years. And I have a : feeling that we'll do fine without much media : attention for the next ten. I understand that media : attention is good but I don't think that we should : change anything to pander to the media (this includes : putting media platforms at the main stage blocking : everyone else's view, but that's another rant). We : don't need to change the game so that the media will : be more interested. We don't need to make the game : less complicated for them. We are what we are and : changing for the media will destroy who we are. : Matt who feels that spending time pandering to the : media is wasted |
