How to get your message on the TV news ? SCVO hosted a “How-to Guide” on Video News Releases, delivered by mediaco-op’s Lucinda Broadbent and former STV reporter Claire Dean.  

Gordon Smith from Guide Dogs for the Blind said “working with mediaco-op gave us greater influence than we could possibly get on our own... It was magnificent, and we were certainly well-pleased with the bangs we got for our buck!”

SCVO’s Susan Ramsay commented “The feedback has been fantastic. It is so important that the voluntary sector does not get left behind in the fast moving media revolution.”

mediaco-op was commissioned by the Social Enterprise Coalition to film their annual trade fair S2S.

"Business with a Social Purpose" is the coalition's slogan, and a huge range of businesses took part.

Lesley Riddoch's radio show recorded a special edition at S2S. 

mediaco-op's crew for the event included the Afghan refugee and aspiring filmmaker Iftekhar Gafar.

media co-op joined other Social Enterprises from across Scotland at the Scottish Social Enterprise Network annual celebration and ceilidh - and walked away with a bottle of Co-op champagne as the prize for the best soap-box rant at the event. Lucinda Broadbent took on the issue of equal pay for women: at the rate of progress since the Equal Pay act, it will take another 290 years to get there ....

media co-op's latest film RED OIL screened on Channel4's More4 "True Stories" and Al Jazeera's "Witness".
RED OIL tells the high-octane story of the only multinational oil corporation in the world that 's part of a socialist revolution - in Hugo Chavez's Venezuela.
