Burning Man in the News

BURNcast is always interested to see how Burning Man is featured in mainstream media. This roundup of clips are from local news stations from last week. Not really new news, but worthwhile coverage even if it's old.

The first story is BMorg's very own manager of communications ActionGrl speaking on behalf of the Org from the NBC affiliate in the Bay Area.

Second up is a story from KOLO news out of Reno about tickets being sold out and how people are managing.

The final story is also out of Reno. KTVN features a story about the Temple of Transition.

Enjoy!


(Just like the experience itself, the scenes as listed are not in chronological order. I have, however, given their original chronology in roman numerals for those who want to reconstruct a some semblance of linearity.)
