OCA in The Media
A Channel 4 documentary entitled Make Me a Tory aired on Sunday May 13, 2007 and produced by Daniel Cormack included footage from one of OCA's Port and Policy meetings. The programme also included an interview with party leader David Cameron and was described by its promotional material as 'an accessible and genuinely revealing look at the political movers and shakers who form the future of the Conservative party'
In Trinity Term 2010 just over a week before the 2010 General Election, the Oxford Mail reported John Major's visit to the association. The Daily Mail newspaper subsequently reported the event and criticized the Oxford Student newspaper for their 'anti-Tory' coverage.
In Hilary Term 2011, Courtney Love attended a Port and Policy event. In the course of the evening she contributed to the debate, joined the association and the President appointed her Non-Executive Officer for Rock and Roll.

Famous quotes containing the word media:
“One can describe a landscape in many different words and sentences, but one would not normally cut up a picture of a landscape and rearrange it in different patterns in order to describe it in different ways. Because a photograph is not composed of discrete units strung out in a linear row of meaningful pieces, we do not understand it by looking at one element after another in a set sequence. The photograph is understood in one act of seeing; it is perceived in a gestalt.”
