Qualified Media 

American Royal media passes are issued to broadcast, print, and internet media assigned to cover American Royal events. Requests must be submitted by the assigning authority (editor, news director, broadcast producer) at the media outlet. Credentials will be issued to authorized personnel, employed by the media outlet for the purpose of providing timely news coverage of American Royal events.

Freelance Journalists 

Freelance journalists are required to submit an assignment letter from the general manager, editor, or news director on official letter of the media outlet, and will only relieve media credentials if on assignment. Production companies are required to submit a letter from their broadcast organization providing details of the editorial coverage and footage required. Media credentials for freelance photographers without assignment will not be granted.

Online/Social Media 

Online/social media will be considered on a case-by-base basis. Only media with active news websites qualify for media considerations. The website must post original, dated and industry related news on a regular basis.  Social media without supporting news website will not be considered.
