Media Accreditation Guidelines

1 Media Accreditation Guidelines for the 10th Annual Roundtable Meeting on Sustainable Palm Oil (RT10)
  The 10th Annual Roundtable Meeting on Sustainable Palm Oil (RT10) invites all local and international media to cover the event.

The media at RT10 must observe the accreditation process so as to be allowed full access in order to cover the various activities. The intent of media accreditation is to grant as much access as possible to members of the media and to allow them the access needed to perform their duties, while ensuring the smooth flow of the RT10.

Media accreditation will commence on 1 September 2012 and close on 25 October 2012. All applications for media accreditation will be subject to the approval of the organisers.

2 Accreditation Principles
2.1 Editors of publications and agencies are requested to take note of the following principles to ensure that media accreditation is restricted to professional journalists and photographers:
 
  • The organiser considers the media pass to be a working tool to be used only by bona fide members of the media.
  • Each accreditation application will be reviewed by the organising committee of RT10 and not every application for accreditation is a guarantee of accreditation.
  • Under no circumstance will advertising and public relations agencies (or similar companies and organisations) be accredited as media, nor will the organiser issue any accreditation to representatives (press officers or otherwise) of sponsors and suppliers.
  • No double accreditation is allowed (i.e. as media and as a delegate).
