Examples: newspapers / tv news / print media / online media outlets with large distribution (not a blog or photographer with a flickr account) photographers actively working with sponsors of the event who are paying to be sponsors Photographers actively working with event participants who have sponsors or media outlets involved in promoting the event before / during / after the event If you don't fall into one of these 3 categories, don't expect a media pass.
