Instructions

The following are suggested forms of verification. We may request additional verification.

Print News Media - A copy of the masthead from a current issue of your publication showing your name, or a business card with a copy of a recent article from the publication with your by-line.

Electronic News Media - A letter from the news director/ assignment editor on station/network letterhead saying that you have been assigned to represent the organization in an editorial capacity at NAB events.

Web Publications - The publication's URL and verification of employment, which can include a copy of a recent article with a business card. The demographics and/or an audited statement must also be provided. The Web publication must be a previously established, independent site that is regularly updated with original and current broadcast-related news. Personal blogs will not be considered for media registration.

Analyst/Researcher - A copy of the cover of a recent report which shows your name, title and company name. Reports must be made independently and not solicited by exhibiting companies.

Freelancers & Video Production Companies
Freelancers and video production companies must be on assignment for a legitimate news organization and submit letters of assignment from that news organization on company letterhead. Accreditation for freelancers and video production companies will expire at the conclusion of each show.

Ineligible

Press IDs from membership organizations that charge a fee for the ID are not sufficient for verification.

Accreditation will not be granted to:

• Account representatives, sales executives, engineers, marketing managers, general managers, public relations reps, etc.

• Anyone whose principal purpose for attending NAB events is, in our judgment, for reasons other than covering them as working news media.

• Individuals working on projects for media that are specifically show-related and only released in conjunction with NAB events.

Media accreditation is reserved for working members of the media only. This includes editors, reporters, producers, camera crews and still photographers.
We reserve the right to modify this policy without public notice and to revoke previously issued NAB accreditation/registration at any time.

A history of being registered at previous NAB shows does not guarantee approval or waive the accreditation requirement. Misconduct or misrepresentation of position and/or publication/news organization will bar you and your organization from all future NAB events.

NOTE: The foregoing are guidelines for NAB's use only.

Completion of the NAB Conventions News Media Accreditation Form implies consent to NAB's collection and storage of the data on the form in the United States.
