“Taking Liberties – Police Stop and Search Media Workers – BECTU.

Tearsheet : Cover of Stage Screen & Radio Magazine. September 2008. Published here by kind permission of the Stage Screen & Radio Magazine. (c) Stage Screen & Radio Magazine 2008.

It’s always good to get a a cover picture published, add’s to the tearsheet archive and the larger fee is always a bonus!  On the day  I took these images I was assaulted, stop & searched and filmed when filing at a local  McDonalds (free WiFi) by the police.  So let’s just say it’s a pretty good feeling to get this cover after a day like that.  In fact Stage Screen & Radio Magazine took not only the picture for the cover but took six more pictures for a 3 page cover story inside the magazine and the article that goes with it is very good as well.  It’s my understanding that the article may go up the BECTU site later this week.   If so I will post the link when I have it.

Stage Screen & Radio Magazine is the journal of the Broadcasting Entertainment Cinematograph & Theatre Union (BECTU)
