Applications are approved at the discretion of the Director of Communications and National Office Press Team. Approval is on a first-come, first-served basis. Approval is not guaranteed. Varying factors may limit the number of media credentials approved per each event or overall.

Because this is a virtual event, approval will be first granted to media with national and regional reach/exposure, since there will generally be no local coverage.

Media representatives will be asked to submit documentation from their supervisor of approval/assignment to cover the convention. If your activities are a disruption to events or sessions you will be asked to exit convention events. Some events may be invitation, pre-approval only and may not allow for media access.

Please email a copy of a letter from your supervisor noting your assignment/approval to cover this convention, as well as a copy of your press badge/photo ID to press@nabj.org. If you have been previously verified at last year's convention, indicate below (documentation may still be required).
