Media Credential Policy
Business Leaders for Michigan values its relationships with members of the working media. That is why we seek to ensure reporters have adequate space for gathering information at summits, conferences and events.
For those reasons, we grant media credentials only to working journalists from bona fide newsgathering outlets. These include publicly read newspapers and news services (either print or online) and radio and television stations. Bloggers and podcasters are not classified as members of the working media at this time.
We define a “working journalist” as someone employed by an independent media outlet in one or more of the following capacities:
-Reporter
-Editor
-Writer
-Photographer
-Videographer
-Producer
Freelance writers must present proof that they have been retained by a bona fide newsgathering outlet for the express purpose of covering the event. Credentials will not be granted to non-editorial staff (e.g., business managers, sales teams).
Independent media outlets are:
-Published primarily for the dissemination of news
-Regularly issued, and
-Editorially independent of any political, governmental, commercial, or special interest group. Applicants who report for newsletters or other publications for such groups are not considered working media.
Business Leaders for Michigan reserves the right to deny or revoke media credentials for any reason.
Cameras and Video
Video cameras and recording devices by credentialed media are permitted by prior arrangement with BLM staff. Business Leaders for Michigan reserves the right to ask a reporter with a camera to leave the event at any time.
