Media Credentials
Thank you for your interest in covering the #NABJ25 Convention & Career Fair. Applications are now being accepted for local, regional, state, national, and international platforms (including broadcast, audio, print, and digital/social media).
Media credentials are available for journalists and media/platform representatives who wish to provide daily, weeklong (real-time/active) and post coverage of the convention. The priority application approval period is July 23. We are accepting applications for additional review from now until July 30.
Please apply here for credentials: LINK PENDING
If you are unable to cover the convention in Cleveland, but would like to receive press releases, media announcements, or access to visual elements for reporting on the (pre/during/post) convention, please contact press@nabj.org..
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
Applications and press ID badges are approved or rejected (at any time) at the discretion of the NABJ Press Team. Approval is on a first-come, first-served basis. All individuals applying for credentials are subject to verification and security review. Upon approval, you will be emailed further instructions.
NOTE: Credentials do not replace convention registration and do not grant access to attendee benefits, meal functions, or services. All credential holders are expected to provide active coverage during the event. If you are found to be misusing the credentials, they will be reclaimed, and you will be asked to pay registration fees in order to remain on the premises.
If you are a working member of the media who is also attending the convention, media credentials are still required if you wish to cover special events, conduct interviews, film or record content, etc.
Media, communications, and BTS teams, as well as crew members working with our partners during the convention, are also required to apply for credentials.
Media representatives will be required to submit documentation from their supervisor of approval to cover the convention, and possibly a copy of their work ID upon completion of the credentials form. Access is not guaranteed.
If you are requesting credentials for multiple people under one company/organization, please note that all members of your team may not be able to cover the same event due to limited spacing. If there is a shortage of space, team members may have to alternate. All team members must be credentialed and the form must be completed for each individual.
Due to security restrictions, you cannot access designated events and areas without an approved convention press badge. You must abide by all convention guidelines. Credential holders are required to receive an updated daily badge during the convention.
Thank you.
