WELCOME ___ Welcome to the Salt Lake 2002 Olympic Winter Games. The key to understanding the many media facilities and services available at the Salt Lake 2002 Games is the Facilities & Services for Journalists Guide that you are now holding. Please take the F A C I L T E S & R V O J U N G D time to review and understand its contents. Much of your time in February 2002 will be spent at the Main Media Center (MMC) where, for the first time in Olympic history, both the Main Press Center (MPC) and the International Broadcast Center (IBC) will be housed under one roof. The MMC will be located at the recently expanded Salt Palace Convention Center in the heart of downtown Salt Lake City. While the MMC serves as the centerpiece of SLOC’s press services program, it is at the venues where critical Games-time reporting takes place. Accredited media can expect to find fully-outfit- ted and professionally staffed Media Sub-Centers (MSC), print and photo press viewing areas, and post-event interview areas at all 12 competition and noncompetition venues. SLOC Press Operations staff responsible for planning and delivering these critical media facilities and services during the Games include: • Beth White General Manager, Main Media Center • Steve Dittmore Director, Venue Press Facilities and Services • Frank Zang Director, Olympic News Service (ONS) • Jill Porter Manager, Press Support (accreditation, accommodations, rate card) • Carrie Devine Manager, Special Projects • David Breslauer Photo Chief After careful review of the information herein, please don’t hesitate to direct any questions or comments in writing to: [email protected]. For media interviews, on-the-record statements and information about SLOC and its ongoing pro- grams, please contact the SLOC Media Relations department headed by Chief Communications Officer Caroline Shaw at +1.801.212.2002. Or, e-mail [email protected]. We look forward to working with you and your accredited press organization.
