Team:Info/Press
Contents
Goals of press handling:
- Helping press to get a full picture on the event and the community
- Preventing misrepresentation (for instance, a conversation with a community outlier/someone with an extreme viewpoint being reported as ‘what hackers think’ ingeneral)
- Protecting the privacy of our community members
Principles:
- There’s free speech
- In the age of social media, everyone is a reporter but we try to focus on the ‘larger’, ‘professional’ media.
- Explicit concent for the use of any face
- For goodwill and to maximise coverage, we can allow some press free or cheaper tickets.
Press accreditation proces
- Press is asked to announce themselves in advance. Team Info keeps a list of accredited press.
- At entrance, all press is asked to identify themselves. In general, we’ll give them press wristbands and a press package
- Chaperoning: all (serious) press will be invited over to the press area, and given a tour around the camp
- Free or cheaper entry: Team Info can decide if a member of the press is eligable. Especially if they only want to come for a day.
- Requirements: those wanting to report on the event in any media with an expected reach of over 1000 people, or professional press we deem especially important (relevant media targeted at for instance government professionals; local media).
Press area
Where?
- Few tables, secure storage.
- Harbor's Mothership could be host.
Press package
Probably digitally; containing a statement and free to use imagery. Could productiehuis provide something?
Code of conduct for journalism
Respect privacy: don’t make recogniseable photo/video of our visitors, even when in the background. All speakers can be shown.
Villages can refuse your entry. Workshops can refuse your entry.
We have thousands of visitors, many are outspoken, often with conflicting ideas. Besides our ground rules, the organisation as a whole doesn’t take a point and doesn’t necessarily agree with views of visitors or even speakers.
Our story
Every 4 years,
Growing visitor numbers, internationally (can we show from what country)
Not only on computer security, but about the impact on society, and our position as tech-savy people. We hack so the bad guys don’t. Most of us have serious day jobs.
