A strict procedure has been established for the accreditation of
media attending TELECOM events. Please note that only editorial staff can
therefore be accredited. Prior accreditation at ITU events is not sufficient.
Those seeking accreditation are
requested to read this document carefully and ensure that the Accreditation Form is duly completed and
returned to the TELECOM Press Service with the supporting documentation.
Journalists
should submit one of the following:
- a letter of accreditation from the
Editor-in-Chief (or the News Editor for radio/TV);
- a photocopy of a national/international press
badge valid through to end of event;
- a recent copy of the page of the publication /
credits list of the TV/radio programme which provides the names of regular editorial staff
and contributors and which lists the journalist seeking accreditation;
- copies of a series of recently published (in the
last six months) articles where the journalist is credited.
Freelance journalists need to provide:
- a letter of support from the Editor of the
publication for which coverage will be made or is normally made. This letter should be
included at the time of application;
- evidence of related editorial coverage to be
submitted within the six months following accreditation to maintain eligibility.
To be
submitted within the six months following accreditation to maintain eligibility.
Members of the UN Press Corps should only
submit the Accreditation Form.
Journalists invited by
Exhibitors must also follow the established procedure. Each journalist invited
will need to submit the duly completed Accreditation
Form and required credentials. Exhibitors should request Exhibitor passes for
companies hired to film/photograph the Stand only.
Broadcast media
should refer to the broadcast/photo
guidelines.
Photographers
should also refer to the broadcast/photo
guidelines.
Industry analysts are not generally
considered as media. For TELECOM events however, editorial staff (max. 4)
of newsletters published by consultancies or commercial entities may be considered for
media accreditation if all of the following criteria are met:
- each title is published at least 6 times a year;
- the information it contains is of general
benefit to the telecommunications community;
- a sample copy of the newsletter is provided
with the request for accreditation; and
- proof of related editorial coverage is submitted
within four months after the event to maintain eligibility.
All other representatives
(management, marketing/advertising executives, researchers, technical staff not part of a
broadcast crew, etc.) cannot be granted press credentials but may register as visitors.
Completed accreditation forms should
be returned to:
