Media Credentials Selection Criteria
Media Credentials Selection Criteria
We have designed our media areas to facilitate newsgathering and to credential as many legitimate media outlets as space will allow. However, we may not be able to accommodate everyone. We would appreciate media cooperation in keeping attending staff to the absolute minimum necessary to cover the Awards.
Only media outlets and photo agencies will be credentialed. Requests from individuals or freelancers will not be considered. The assigning editor must make requests for freelancers or non-staff employees on the credentials form and such requests will be verified.
Consideration for media credentials to cover the Screen Actors Guild Awards® Nominations and Presentation will be based upon a number of elements, among them:
1. Importance of the outlet, based upon verifiable circulation, viewer or listenership statistics, demographic and geographic saturation, etc.
First to be considered will be outlets with international reach, then national, regional and local, in that order.
In the case of foreign media, priority consideration will be given to foreign television outlets that carry the telecast in their country or region, and to other media from countries or regions which carry the telecast.
2. The outlet's demonstrated willingness to abide by established rules during previous SAG or SAG Awards™ events
3. The extent of previous coverage of SAG Awards® presentations
4. The extent of previous coverage of pre-SAG Awards® activities
5. The extent of previous coverage of non-Awards SAG activities throughout the year.
6. For outlets requesting SAG Awards® credentials for the first time, the extent of previous coverage of other entertainment industry awards.
Items 3, 4, 5 and 6 will be determined subjectively based on clippings, transcripts and video or audiotapes you have provided to us. All media who have covered the SAG Awards® received with their credentials our request (with mailing instructions) to send us copies of their coverage. All new outlets have been requested to submit examples of their coverage of other entertainment industry awards. If we did not receive your materials, we will not be able to take your previous coverage into consideration.
Credential applications are evaluated each year. Being credentialed in the past does not guarantee you will be credentialed again. We will try to accommodate as many media outlets as possible for both the Nominations and the Awards, but due to space limitations it may be necessary to credential some media for only one of these events.
Thank you for your interest in covering the Screen Actors Guild Awards®.
