Perhaps the IMC's press pass policy would be helpful for the following
person from CA to know.

Subject: [grc] Press Pass Policies
Hi -- The KPFA Local Advisory Board is working on developing a written press
pass policy (we don't have one). The issue became "hot" recently when a
community member with many connections in Palestine was denied a KPFA press
pass because she was an "activist" not a "professional" -- although she had
done much reporting on KPFA and elsewhere in the past as a witness to events
in Palestine.
I'm interested in the "activist"/"professional" issue and would like to
know how other community radio stations, as well as "progressive" media.
generally, look at this issue.
We are hoping to develop a policy that will help get us accurate
reporting of information not commonly available elsewhere.
If you have a written press pass policy, could you email it to me.
Thanks,
--Carol Spooner
