In an effort to provide a professional working environment, we have established the following guidelines to assist in your coverage during this season. IMPORTANT PHONE NUMBERS Stacey Escudero…..…………………….…………(212) 465-5902 (W); [email protected] Liberty Communications Office……….………..…………..(212) 631-4086 (P); (212) 465-6250 (F) INQUIRIES/REQUESTS All inquiries and requests for player or coach interviews from accredited members of the press should be directed to the attention of Stacey Escudero. All media credential requests should be sent to [email protected] CREDENTIALS Three media credentials are honored for admission to the Prudential Center this season: (1) Liberty 2011 season media pass; (2) Liberty 2011 single game pass (good for that specific game only), and (3) 2011 WNBA working media card. NO OTHER CREDENTIALS WILL BE HONORED . Credential requests must be made via e-mail to [email protected] from the assigning editor . Requests for single game credentials must be submitted 36 hours prior to game time. Day-of-game requests will not be honored. Radio stations, magazines and weekly newspapers will be accommodated on a space-available basis. When applying for the first time, requests from magazines and weekly newspapers, radio and TV stations must be made on company letterhead and include copies of the publication (if applicable) from the assigning editor . Applying for credentials does not guarantee a confirmation. Those holding season media passes and WNBA season working media cards are required to contact the Communications Office to arrange/reserve seating 24 hours before game time. When working at the Prudential Center, it is requested that credentials be worn and displayed at all times . PHOTOGRAPHERS Positions for credentialed photographers are located on each baseline. Free-lance photographers will not be credentialed without a certificate of assignment from an established publication. No “roving” passes are issued. Assigned photo positions will be posted in the press workroom. Please do not move from your assigned photo positions during game action. Movement is permitted only during timeouts and breaks. Please shoot only from your assigned position(s) unless cleared to move by a PR representative. Please store all coats and extra equipment in the pressroom and/or workroom. It is requested that all photographers please observe the WNBA's mandatory “Three-Foot Lane” rule. There is NO still photography permitted in either team’s locker room. HEAD COACH AVAILABILITY Liberty head coach John Whisenant will conduct his pre-game media availability at home games outside of the Liberty locker room 90 minutes before tip-off. Whisenant’s post-game media availability will take place outside the locker room. The visiting head coach will usually conduct a post-game session in the hallway outside the visitor locker room. On the road, Whisenant will host all pre-game media interviews on the court and all post-game media interviews outside the Liberty locker room. ~ 5 ~ MEDIA GUIDELINES GAME-DAY INTERVIEWS Participating radio and TV stations/networks are strongly urged to conduct their game-day interviews at the morning shoot-around, rather than at the arena prior to the game. It is requested that all game-day interviews pertain to that day’s/evening’s game. All other interviews should be scheduled in advance through the Communications Office. LOCKER ROOMS Entering the locker room area from courtside, the Liberty locker room is on the left and the visitor locker room on the right. As per WNBA regulations, the Liberty locker room will be open for a 30-minute period, ending one hour prior to game time (for example, the room will be open from 6:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. for a 7:30 p.m. start). The room will re-open within 10 minutes after the final buzzer and will remain open for a minimum of 30 minutes. Following the 30-minute media access period, locker rooms will be closed for a 20-30 minute period to allow players to shower and dress. The locker rooms may then again be opened to the media. Your cooperation is asked in maintaining a work atmosphere in the locker rooms at all times. Any media members using their credentials to gain locker room access for the purpose of obtaining autographs will have their credentials immediately revoked. It is requested that cell phones be set to vibrate or silent when working at MSG. PRESSROOM & WORKROOM The press workroom is for the exclusive use of working media filing on deadline. Please confine all social gatherings and conversations to the dining area to maintain a professional atmosphere in the workroom. If you are not filing on deadline, please be professional and vacate the work area. PRESS MATERIALS Game notes and media guides are available online (via MediaCentral.NBA.com ) and in the press workroom beginning two hours prior to game time. For visiting media, early-edition game notes will be delivered to their hotel the day before the game. Running sheets, half-by- half sheets and box scores are distributed during the game and will be available in the press workroom after the game. Post-game quotes, notes and practice information will be distributed in the press workroom as soon as possible after the game. POST-GAME PRESS MATERIALS Media needing a final box score and/or post game quotes faxed and/or e-mailed back to their newsrooms when working at the Prudential Center should contact Liberty Communications before the conclusion of the game. PRESS ROW Press seating is located courtside next to the visiting team bench and in section 14F. MEDIA ENTRANCE There is no media parking at Prudential Center, however, there are numerous pay indoor and outdoor parking areas in the immediate vicinity. ~ 6 ~ MEDIA GUIDELINES TELEVISION REGULATIONS Television stations intending to produce live shots from the Prudential Center must inform the Communications Office, in advance of the game-day.
