> One of our concerns is the attitude the Media often adopts towards  
> older
> people and so in 1994 we introduced Media Awards to reward positive
> coverage. Last year we expanded our categories to include schools,  
> with only
> limited success, and we are hoping to promote the awards better  
> this year.

> We were encouraged by this response from a teacher in WA who said  
> "my student
> won an ipod last year in the OPSO Media awards. It is an excellent  
> vehicle
> to foster students' analysis in media representations,which is a  
> vital part
> of the English course at our school. We will definitely be  
> promoting the
> competition again this year."

> I would be most grateful if you could see your way to promoting this
> competition to your membership and to that end I am attaching a  
> form of
> words you might feel fit to use.
