Affiliated Media
Persons affiliated with a media organization are required to submit a credential form, but are subject to keep the rights to the content that they take at an event. This content is to be used in disseminating information to the public though a newspaper, magazine, website, or other mass communication publication. George Fox does not require affiliated media members to share any content upon completion of an event.
Unaffiliated Media
Unaffiliated media is a person who is not working for a media outlet, and is working for the sole purpose of personal career advancement. Unaffiliated media members who wish to be credentialed must understand that any chance at being granted a credential means they are working as a volunteer, and is not subject to financial compensation. Unaffiliated media members are not permitted to withhold photos behind a paywall and charge student-athletes for said photos. Doing so will result in the loss of the George Fox media pass.
All unaffiliated media members are asked to share their content with the George Fox Sports Information & Marketing office within 72-hours following the completion of the event. Please send a downloadable link to a gallery to Gabe Foster (gfoster@georgefox.edu) and/or Antonio Arredondo (aarredondo@georgefox.edu).
