Subject: Re: [PHC] Discuss the contest in the media?

Hmm.   I wonder if I start to mention other candidates in an interview if
that is going to irritate any creator whose entry is not mentioned.   I
tend to stay away from picking favorites for these reasons...

I'm not a journalist so I don't control what gets covered / won't be
interviewing anyone.

The question I asked is if media attention about the contest is welcome...
  However, maybe it would be easier to ask: does anyone feel the contest
should not be mentioned?

Thanks,
Justin
