We appreciate your
media participation in Dragon*Con. For those of you who have
already mailed copies of articles, photos and aired coverage
of Dragon*Con 2007 or past years, we thank you. If you have
not sent your materials, please mail them immediately to:
Star
Roberts
Dragon*Con Media Relations
208 Hillcrest Avenue
Chattanooga, TN 37411
Photocopies are
acceptable as long as they are labeled with the publication
name and publication date. Video needs to be in VHS format and
include airdate. Radio airchecks can be cassette or CD and
also need to include airdate. These materials MUST arrive
prior to Dragon*Con 2008 for you to be eligible for media
passes again this year and in the future. There will be no
exceptions.
Since our goal is to
reach as many potential attendees before the convention
starts, we rely on our loyal media organizations to provide us
with as much pre-con publicity as possible. We realize that
not all forms of media are conducive to pre-con publicity. If
you produce a radio or TV show, your format and show content
might limit your topics. If you plan to tape a show from
Dragon*Con, perhaps you could do a pre-show or teaser
mentioning the dates of this year’s convention and our
website.
Other forms of pre-con
publicity are articles or shows about guests and musical acts,
events and the convention in general, listings on calendars of
events, and free ads or promos. For story ideas, please see
our links to Press Releases and other items of interest at the
top of this page.
Please
fill out the Returning Media Form. Whoever will be acting as
the main contact for your company needs to fill out the
form. Anyone else from your company who will be attending as
WORKING media and needs a badge can be listed on your
form. We ask that you only request
passes for legitimate working media (i.e. reporters who are
covering Dragon*Con as a media event and not friends and
family). Since passes are limited, we ask that you only
request the minimum number of passes for essential staff.
Media Registration
will again take place in the Press Room.
It is located in the Lenox Room on the bottom floor of the Hyatt
Regency (the Motor Lobby level). Please see our badge
pick up policy.
All
Media contact should be done through Dragon*Con and NOT the
hotel.
