To get the message of the Carnival across thousands of leaflets, flyers and a thousand posters were distributed, especially around Edinburgh and at the huge Make Poverty History demo. Two hundred copies of a special leaflet published by the local Industrial Workers of the World were distributed to workers at Standard Life, on Lothian Road Edinburgh – all available as downloads at link above. The media reporting was massive but, as expected, overwhelmingly hostile. To say it was distorted would be an understatement, outright lies would be more accurate. The Edinburgh Evening News produced several hysterical articles, including a front page headlined IT'S GOING TO BE ANARCHY!, while Scotland's main tabloid, the Daily Record, had a full page BEWARE THE 4TH JULY. More positively, Radio Scotland broadcast a statement from the Carnival. And in the best tradition of lazy-arse journalism, the Daily Mail reproduced a great chunk of the 'Call in sickand join the Carnival' press release – described as 'a chilling call to arms'!
