2022 WCC Pre-Election Report 20220707 v1.0i.pdf
Greetings Gina – here’s the actual pre-election report for your collective delectation. If you folks
decide to run the op-ed on Saturday or Monday then you can have this exclusively. If you decide
against the op-ed then we’d like to send the report out to general media under embargo to 5am
on Monday morning. Enjoy!
Cheers
Richard M – WCC Comms

All good – not a problem, Gina.

Hi Richard, thanks for the oped from Barbara, but I'm afraid we feel it does not meet the
threshold for publication. 
I've alerted the news desk to look out for the report and media release ahead of the Monday
5am embargo.
 
Kind regards
Gina

thanks Seamus, just trying to nail down what we have on Saturday and what we have on
Monday. So you don't mind which day it is  published?

Hey Gina, good to hear from you.
 
Saturday would be great.
 
Richard will be in touch shortly with the copy for you to see if you’re keen.
 
If you are, we’ll get you the full pre-election report under embargo as well.
 
Cheers
Seamus

Hi Seamus, I'm just following up on the oped that Barbara McKerrow is writing on. Patrick
P said Richard McLean was looking at it for Monday publication, if we accept it. How 
committed are you to that day? If it's any good, we might have space for it on Saturday?
Gina
