news media registration guidelines

News Media credentials are given to working editorial news media only. Publishers, advertising representatives, advertising account managers, marketing managers, company presidents and public relations account managers are not considered News Media and must register for a Trade Guest badge.

To register for a News Media badge, you must be a qualified representative from one of the following news organizations:

  • Trade Publication
  • Consumer Newspaper
  • Consumer or Business Magazine
  • Radio Station
  • Television Station/Network
  • Newspaper or Radio Wire Service

Freelance writers or writers for Internet-based publications must submit clips with your byline or a link to articles with your byline to Debbie Teschke, dteschke@housewares.org, before media credentials will be approved.

Media badges will not be mailed until the end of February.
