Suggestions from Press Officer at Anglia TV regarding the establishment of a Catholic Diocesan Press Office:

  1. Press Reception in Norwich, mid-day (to catch the deadlines); early in week (to catch weeklies) with Bishop news story
  2. Create a mailing list of all news outlets (some examples offered)
  3. Monthly information bulletin
  4. Contact numbers, etc.
  5. Bishops letters provided in advance but embargoed
  6. Photographs of clergy, etc.

Await the conclusions from Fr Manley's group, Bishop's engagements are known in advance. DIO's job is to pester his office for information. If people are "bitchy" about the Bishop's ecumenical involvement, he cannot do anything about it. "I almost have a papal bull" to commission this ecumenical work both nationally and internationally. "..The fact is that the Catholic community must be instructed that the Church can not be renewed without being ecumenically involved; and that is where I depend on my brethren."
Recognises that he is not a good TV personality, being too tense. However, that is not likely to change. He and the ATV producer decided to do a couple of runs as they both judged the first film to be too cosy and it "required some abrasiveness and more sharp disagreement. All very difficult".
