Media Relations Officers are staff of delegations who act as focal
point for all media-related matters.
Designating a Media Relations Officer ensures your organization gains full
access to our media relations services and that accredited journalists
know whom to contact for queries/requests relating to your
delegation’s participation. It is therefore imperative that you designate such a
focal point.
- obtaining Media Centre Overpasses (2 per delegation) which are required
to access to the Media Centre — whether it is to meet journalists, use the
interview rooms, or deliver documents for media
- booking press events that will be included in the Summit Event Calendar,
which will be displayed on plasma screens throughout the venue, and on the web
for public access
- reserving pigeonholes for distribution of delegation’s documents to the
media
- obtaining access to the Accredited Media List
These services will only be accessible by Media Relations Officers through
the use of a username and password delivered by the Media Service upon
nomination.
Moreover, accredited media will be given access to the list of Media
Relations Officers through authenticated access, to facilitate contact with
delegations’ media relations officers.
In the absence of a designated Media Relations Officer, it will be extremely
difficult for the WSIS Media Service to foster contact with the media regarding
your participation at the Summit.
