ACCREDITATION POLICY:

There are three different badges that can be applied for through the media department for media day access. They are as follows:

MEDIA:
Defined as “reporting press”. In other words, a working journalist who is on assignment and will be writing a story about the Canadian International Auto Show or producing footage for broadcast on TV or web or radio.

Reporting press will be given a media badge that is good both for media day and the public days. To gain access during the public days, individual members of the press will asked to show photo i.d. as well as their media pass to the security guards at the various entry points.

Reporting press are given breakfast and lunch on media day.

CORPORATE MEDIA:
Defined as working for a manufacturer so as to capture press conference and/or exhibit content. Or, representing a public relations, advertising, or communications company hired by an auto show exhibitor.

Corporate media are given badges that are good for media day only. They should NOT expect to be served either breakfast or lunch as these meals are reserved for reporting press.

Should corporate media require access during the public days, they should request an exhibitor pass from the hiring manufacturer.
