SEIU 2024 CONVENTION MEDIA CREDENTIALS POLICY

  • SEIU media credentials are available to reporters, editors working as reporters, producers, video camera operators and still photographers who present valid press identification from a recognized domestic or international news organization. Exceptions must be approved by SEIU’s Deputy National Communications Director, Terry Lee.

  • SEIU members who claim reporter status, rather than registering as convention delegates, will be held to these same standards for approval and, if approved, will receive only the same access as other members of the media.

  • If there is limited space for media at an event, the SEIU reserves the right to limit the number of credentials it issues. At the discretion of the sponsoring entity, media credentials will not include meal service at events where food is served.

  • Media representatives who violate guidelines for coverage of an SEIU event, whether written or oral, may have their credentials withdrawn.

  • SEIU credentials are not available to staff of media advertising, marketing, public relations or management departments or firms.

  • For additional information, send an e-mail message to the SEIU National Media Team at media@seiu.org

SEIU MEDIA RELATIONS POLICY ON PRESS CREDENTIALS FOR BLOGGERS, ET AL.

  • Bloggers and other citizen journalists who lack formal press credentials must authenticate their status by providing links to their blogs or media outlets.

  • Those who have been credentialed for similar SEIU events in the previous two years will be considered for credentials.

  • Those who can demonstrate having written about the SEIU or related legal issues in the previous year will be considered for credentials.

Bloggers or other citizen-journalists must represent well-established, news and/or labor-related outlets as determined by SEIU’s Media Relations staff. All media credentials must be requested at least three days in advance.

Press credentials can be restricted at the sole discretion of the SEIU Communications and Media Relations Division
