The autumn media training courses were well supported. Participants are often surprised by how much they learn in a short space of time, although perhaps wishing the day was longer too. Basic courses were held in Manchester and Northern Ireland - where some of the Love for Life team were trained. In London we held a training day focusing on abortion. Seven female doctors attended and all agreed that the day was of value. The advanced course looked at developing world issues and our group of CMF members kept the journalists on their toes.Dates and venues for the media training in 2005 have yet to be decided.
CMF Press releases continue to attract a growing amount of media interest and are available on the CMF website at www. cmf.org.uk/press.htm Please pray for CMF members speaking on the media – for opportunities, courage and clarity.
