Mission Statement:

This forum is a place for media organisations to engage with the greater community of boards.ie

If you are coming to this site on behalf of a newspaper, a radio station, a television station or other media outlet then use this forum first.

There is a long established community on boards.ie and newly signed up accounts appearing and suddenly asking for participation for a article, television or radio segment will most likely be met with a degree of suspicion and possibly hostility.

But that doesn't mean that boards.ie isn't more than happy to work with media organisations. And we're always happy to be able promote the endeavors of boards.ie users as well.

So this forum has been created to act as a gateway to the boards.ie community.

If for example you need to do a piece on magic in Ireland you may want to get input from users on the Magic and Illusion forum on boards.ie. Instead of posting directly to that forum, post here first and we'll then subsequently introduce to the users of the forum and it will make the process a much smoother and friendlier process for everyone.

This is forum is very much a learning curve for us and I imagine that it will grow and evolve as we try and find the best way to work together.
