Description:

When scouts arrive at Media Mecca, they will be greeted by Media Team volunteers. Each scout will receive both a laminated scout-specific media tag which is attached to their cameras and a matching laminate to be worn around their necks. Once scouts have been inducted to the sacred alter of Free Press, scouts will take part in a short 45 to 60 minute presentation by Media Mecca photographer and blogger, John Curley. Scouts will learn how best to capture photographs on the playa and how to vision their story when they set out for the proceeding Art Tour. After the Art Tour, Black Rock Scout leaders will collect your digital images and they will be memorialized in print by Saturday.

About Media Mecca:

The Media Team is composed of a daring, dedicated, professional, fun-loving and largely well-behaved set of volunteers. Since 1997, their motley group of journalists, marketers, flacks, sociologists, technical writers, filmmakers, artists, anthropologists, IT professionals, art experts, budding rock stars, freaks, geeks, and ne'erdowells have helped members of the media plug in to the event, participate, and hopefully come away with a good story.
