TV, Video
There were no Danish TV recordings, but TV teams from Finland, China and Japan visited the <strong>Symposium</strong>
and made recordings.
Press
Journalists from USA, Canada, Germany and Sweden were present during the <strong>Symposium</strong>.
Articles about the <strong>Symposium</strong> were printed in many journals on choral music all over the world. IFCM's own
Choral Bulletin brought an article in each edition during the last 1½ years up to the <strong>Symposium</strong>, and ACDA's
Choral Journal, the Europa Cantat Magazine and the Japanese Choral Organization all brought articles
about <strong>WSCM</strong> 8, just to mention some of the most important ones.
In Denmark, we had an article in the newspaper Kristeligt Dagblad before the <strong>Symposium</strong> started, plus
some smaller notices. During the <strong>Symposium</strong> <strong>WSCM</strong> 8 was described in a big reportage in the newspaper
Weekendavisen. In August the same newspaper brought another long article about <strong>WSCM</strong> 8. Several
Musical Journals, among them the Danish conductors' journal (Kapelmesteren), the Organists' journal
(Organist Bladet) and the journal for Danish Amateur Choral Federation/Danish Amateur Orchestra
Federation (DAM Magasinet) featured articles on the event.
