[BWNA] Re: [BWNA-Board] Video-taping of meetings

[jim karlock]

Were any of these people NOT members of the board and NOT 
city/government employees.

I ask because I usually avoid photographing the general public at 
these meetings, although it is not obvious to people in front of the 
camera that I am actually shooting over their heads and not including them.

Please keep in mind that neighborhood meetings are a city government 
function and, like any government function, should be fully public 
and that includes the media.

Any TV station can walk in and tape for TV broadcast, so what is the problem?

Thanks
JK
