They must at all times act in accordance with international media and journalism ethics principles, maintaining high standards especially in regards to truthfulness, accuracy, objectivity, impartiality, fairness and public accountability. General rules All accredited members of the media are required: • to wear their accreditation badge at all times, • to remain within the designated zones as displayed on the accreditation badge, • to show respect and consideration towards the provided equipment and facilities, • to closely follow all instructions given by FIBA, the Local Organising Committee as well as arena security staff, • not to cheer or display support for a specific team from within any designated media area. The display of flags and banners is also not permitted, as well a dressing in such a way as to express excessive support for a participating team, • not to behave in an abusive, threatening or aggressive way. Upon violation of any of the above conditions or upon non-compliance with instructions given on-site, FIBA reserves the right to withdraw accreditation, with or without prior warning, as well as deny accreditation to future FIBA events Social media guidelines for accredited media FIBA strongly supports and encourages players and other accredited persons to be active on Social Media by posting about their great experiences (tweet, videos, photos, etc.). Nonetheless, these publications must respect the following guidelines: • Publications must be dignified and in good taste and must not contain disrespectful or obscene words or images. • Players and other members of the team delegation are not allowed to publish content on Social Media during their game. • No filming or audio recording of any game (pre or post-game action) is allowed. • Photos can be taken for personal use and accredited media may publish them for editorial purposes on Social Media (these photos can only be taken with smartphones/tablets, no professional equipment allowed). • Your Social Media activity linked to the event should not be linked to any commercial and/or advertising purposes. Never forget that what is posted on Social Media can be considered as “public” and cannot be entirely retracted or deleted. Make sure that all content associated with you is consistent with your values and the ones of your organisation (federation, team, media, etc.). Don’t post something unless you’re sure you won’t regret it later. In case of infringement of the above rules, FIBA and the LOC reserve the right to apply disciplinary action and/or withdraw the accreditation of any accredited persons with immediate effect. Don’t forget to mention @FIBA when you refer to us on Social Media and use the official hashtag #EuroBasketWomen2017 when you refer to the FIBA EuroBasket Women 2017 event. TV/Radio Broadcast Partners The live television, radio and online broadcast of the event will be coordinated and distributed to the various FIBA Broadcast Partners / TV and Radio Rights-Holders by FIBA Media representatives on site. FIBA Broadcast Partners not only have the right to broadcast games of the tournament but they also have the right to conduct exclusive interviews before and after the games as well as the possibility of having their own ENG cameras around the court. There will be privileges and priorities given to official broadcast partners during the championship. BACK TO TABLE OF CONTENTS 4 v TV Rights-holders bibs A bib is a supplementary credential in the form of a vest which provides access to restricted areas such as on-field positions. Please note that all broadcast rights-holder cameramen are equipped with numbered bibs provided by FIBA at the beginning of the championship.

BACK TO TABLE OF CONTENTS 5 v Media Non-Rights Holders Non-rights holding media are expected to respect the order of precedence accorded to Broadcast Partners. TV companies that are not Broadcast Partners (i.e. Non-Rights Holders) do not have the right to broadcast or film any game, pre- or post-game action as well as any other video and audio content from within the court area of the arena. They may not publish live scoring or live still images online. Non-Rights Holders are only permitted to film in the Mixed Zone and the Press Conference Room. The video and audio broadcasting rights of FIBA competitions as well as the live scoring and statistics belong to FIBA. Any infringement may result in legal action being taken. Print and web media outlets not accredited as photographers are not permitted to take photographs of on-court action with professional equipment, whether from the media tribune, commentary tribune, photographer benches or from any other area within the arena. Accredited Photographers Photographers working at the FIBA EuroBasket Women 2017 will be seated on the baseline benches and may not venture onto the game floor. Accredited photographers bibs All photographers are required to wear photographer bibs in order to access the court area. Photographers will have to collect their bib against a monetary deposit at the Accreditation Centre, after collecting their accreditation badge. For security reasons, you won’t have to exchange your accreditation badge to obtain your photographer bib. Bibs are required in order to access the photographer benches and to take any photograph within the arena with professional photography equipment. They must be worn at all times. Photographers must avoid disrupting or blocking the view of the court and/or the work of other members of the media. More specifically, they must: • Not change ends during play or time-outs, instead they may change ends only between quarters and at half-time (opposite side of the benches only) • Not walk freely around the court • Not take photos from behind or beside the team benches • Not take photos standing in front of spectators • Not take photos that block the view or the function of the advertisement panels etc. • Not eat or drink in their work stations behind the baskets Photographers do not have access to the Media Tribune.
