URELEASES
General releases sent to the Gallery will be posted the day they are received. Notices of press conferences or events remain posted until after the event. If you want a release to be placed in a reporter’s mailbox, use the attached list to address individual releases. The Gallery does not accept FAXed news releases unless they are directed to a specific reporter.
USTUDIOS
The Radio-TV Gallery's BIG STUDIO, located in H-321 of the Capitol, is available for Member interviews subject to the following Gallery rules:
1) UA MEMBER MUST BE INVITED BY A BROADCAST JOURNALIST WHO GUARANTEES TO
COVER THE INTERVIEW U. This prevents a Member from coming to the studio and having no one there to cover his/her comments. Print journalists and still photographers may NOT invite Members, but they may attend the events.
2) U ONLY MEMBERS OF CONGRESS MAY BE INTERVIEWED IN THE STUDIOU. If a Member wishes to have people other than fellow Members, staff or credentialed reporters attend or participate, arrange the interview at another location. Consider reserving a committee or private room in the Capitol or one of the office buildings or using the Cannon Terrace (See map on page 2).
3) U ONLY MEMBERS, THEIR STAFF AND ACCREDITED JOURNALISTS ARE ALLOWED U UIN
THE STUDIO FOR THE INTERVIEWSU. U PLEASE DO NOT INVITE OTHERS BECAUSE IT IS
AWKWARD FOR EVERYONE WHEN WE HAVE TO EXCLUDE THEM U. Staff may be asked to listen to the interview in the outer gallery office if the studio is crowded. In your notice of a news conference in the Gallery, always include that it is "FOR MEDIA ONLY". I M P O R T A N T N O T E The primary use for the studio is for TV and radio interviews. Opening the door causes noise in the audio feed. Only Members of Congress are permitted to enter and exit during an interview even though this may interference with the interview sound.
USTAFF AND REPORTERS MAY NOT ENTER THE STUDIO ONCE AN INTERVIEW HAS BEGUN
Uand
UIF STAFF AND/OR REPORTERS GO INTO THE STUDIO, THEY MUST STAY
UUNTIL THE INTERVIEW IS OVER !
If a broadcaster invites a Member for a one-on-one interview, it will probably be scheduled for the SMALL STUDIO which is also located in H-321 of the Capitol, or the RAYBURN STUDIO located in B-365 Rayburn.
UTHE TRIANGLE
As of July, 2002 the Triangle is not longer an available location for news conferences due to construction of the Capitol Visitors Center. The Cannon Terrace is the new alternative location for similar activities.
UTHE CANNON TERRACE
Due to current construction of the Capitol Visitor Center (CVC), the Triangle press location will be relocated to the elevated terrace adjacent to the Cannon House Office Building’s entrance at Independence and New Jersey Avenues beginning July 8, 2002. This new area will be referred to as the “Cannon Terrace” press location and used until the CVC’s projected completion date of 2005.
The Cannon Terrace will be equipped with a permanent podium for press conferences and will be shared with accredited television media organizations doing live shots. Members wishing to schedule media events at the Terrace should limit participants due to the limited amount of space. Handicapped access for participants is available by requesting the emergency door be opened by the police stationed there. Offices are also requested NOT to use sound amplification systems given the Terrace’s proximity to the building and its offices. The House Radio-TV Correspondents’ Gallery will schedule all events at the Terrace and can be contacted at 5-5214. The same guidelines as applied to the Triangle will apply at the Cannon Terrace. These include allowing non-members to participate in events as long as a member is in attendance as well, and notifying the police if any large or unusual prop will be used.
