Scoop! Tribunal had Its Very Own Paper!
By the way, one of the best ideas to come out of the Tribunal was a daily newspaper for the event, pulbished by the the volunteer staff in English and in Turkish. It was informative, hilarious, and thoughtful. I think all such events should think of having one.
Volunteers stayed up each night to put the latest edition out, and all 500 copies disappeared as soon as they were brought out.
The copies are online for anyone interested. Here is day one, day two, and day three. They are best read by printing and folding in half -- or pretending to, if you don't want to waste paper.
And who can forget the last day when the volunteers burst into the courtroom yelling, "Flash News! Scoop! We Obtained the Decision! Before it was Made Public!" and distributed this special evening edition. I'm glad to say sense of humor was not one of the victims of all the horrific testimony we heard day after day.
