How do you get PRESS CREDENTIALS (USA) - Online Entertainment Site?

June 14th, 2009 | by admin |

I am starting a online outlet for movie reviews and entertainment specific content. Is anyone aware of how to gain press status and or credentials as we will be nationwide to international? New area for me!!!

Thanks all!

Well, you send your press people with the credentials that YOU make for them… the entertainment company that you are covering will decide whether or not they want to honor them.

I could create my own "press pass" as an online blogger and let a concert decide whether or not they wanted me back stage… if they did, then they would issue me the necessary pass to get past security.

The more people tune into your media outlet… the more seriously entertainers will begin to take you.
I was able to bring my camera to Lolapalooza years back because I ran a local "fanzine" and bought 2nd row seats… they liked it… no one else was allowed to bring a camera.

It always boils down to what kind of audience and coverage the entertainer themselves wants.
Some entertainers don't want big corporate coverage at all… people like me get a lot further with them.
