Media Liaison Manager for the World Creole Music Festival Marcella Andre has noted that changes that will be made to the way\u00a0 members of the media are to conduct their practice at this year\u2019s WCMF.<\/p>\n

The Dominican-born Andre recently assumed her position and addressed the media at a WCMF press conference for the first time yesterday where she revealed that those changes will be key to the perpetuating of the Festival and announced that plans were afoot including the creation of a media handbook of guidelines for media practice at the WCMF.<\/p>\n

Andre said, \u201cOne of the deliverable that we will have when I leave here is something that we can use going forward. We\u2019re actually creating a manual of media guidelines, so far we\u2019re about 15 pages into it, and this will be handed to all of the media managers, all of the media practitioners as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Interviews conducted at the WCMF will also be different in an effort to promote professionalism and best practices, with press conferences.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the main changes this year is that we are going to be doing press conference style interviews. There will not be a mad rush to try and grab the artistes as soon as they come off-stage.\u00a0 There\u2019s going to be control, which is very important. If you imagine spending an hour and a half on-stage, to come off-stage to be mobbed, it\u2019s not a comfortable thing. And it is not something that is done elsewhere, there is control. It is managed and we\u2019re trying to develop the best practices, we\u2019re trying to step our game up and embrace professionalism,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The media at the Festival will also be categorized into tiers and media houses which have contributed directly to the Festival will be granted priority access to the festival.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Media Liaison Manager for the World Creole Music Festival Marcella Andre has noted that changes that will be made to the way\u00a0 members of the media are to conduct their practice at this year\u2019s WCMF.
