I know this somewhat goes along with how to explain Belegarth... but is there any probably way to approach authorities such as the paper/news/radio?
I've sent an e-mail to several places about the paper and the news, and my friend has a father who works at a radio station. The thing is, I don't know exactly how to approach people like this. Not explaining it, but coming up with an intelligent way to speak of Belegarth and the proper way to convince them it isn't dangerous or stupid.
I'm also wondering, what exactly would you do if you got on the news? Say a 3 minute news segment directly related to Belegarth and I've got to explain and promote it positively and properly. I was thinking of gathering some materials, half completing a sword (to show whats on the inside and what it looks like) and then a finished product. Showing a team battle where the two teams just charge into each other and explain a very simple overview of the rules.
Anything else that would help with this?
And the final two parts of this thread... has anyone tried getting on the national news? Such as the Today show or some type of evening news? At an event I'd think you'd be able to find someone who'd be interested enough to show these...
And what about MySpace, would it be possible (without paying them) to get a skin for a day on the main page?
I'm shooting big here... but those are some questions that have been scrambling around in my head.
