One person you could try is the new "Africa Editor" of the Research Fortnight empire. Not know the name, but that should be enough clues. ____________________________ Michael Kenward ABSW e-minder http://www.absw.org.uk http://absw.blogspot.com/ _____ From: psci-com: on public engagement with science [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Mary Sent: 31 October 2006 19:49 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [PSCI-COM] contacts in South Africa Dear all, Thanks to this list I found a great press officer for a conference in Prague earlier this year. Now I am after the same thing for Durban, South Africa; or more particularly a contact in South Africa who could advise, in the first place, whether someone who can speak local languages would be necessary in the press office of a major international fertility conference, and whether we should be thinking about translating media material into such languages. Any ideas? Your help is very much appreciated. Best wishes Mary Mary Rice ********************************************************************** 1.
