CT Liberty Forum Rules for Press/Media Passes
1. Members of the
media are welcome, and encouraged, to attend the Connecticut Liberty Forum during
either day, free of charge, for the purpose of interviewing speakers and
reporting on the event.
2. Members of the
media may present credentials in advance and/or at the registration desk on the
day of the event. We strongly encourage members of the media to request a
press/media pass in advance rather than waiting until the day of the
event. In order to obtain a
press/media pass and have access to the event free of charge, the credentials
presented must indicate that the person is a member of the press/media and that
he or she will be working as such during the event for a designated news or
media outlet covering the event. When applying in advance, send your letter
to the CT Liberty Forum, c/o Deborah Stevenson, P.O. Box 704, Southbury,
CT 06488 with a photocopy of your
credentials. Press/Media passes will be available for pick-up at the
registration desk on the day of the event.
3. Non-reporting employees of news or media agencies
(executives, sales personnel, publishers, editors, etc.) are not eligible for
press passes.
4. Members of the
media are not allowed to photograph or to record featured speakers without
having first obtained their oral or written permission. In addition, when
members of the public ask not to be photographed or recorded, please do not do
so.
5. Members of the public who have paid registration to
attend the event have preferential time to speak with our featured speakers
ahead of the media, (i.e., members of the media may not monopolize a speaker’s
time when paid registrants wish to speak with them.)
6. Press/Media passes do not entitle members of the media to
meals at the CT
7. The CT Liberty
Forum reserves the right to deny access to any part of the forum to any member
of the media who fails to observe these rules.
