CapeFish Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 I have applied with MLB and the Marlins for Press status in order to cover the team for the Ballpark news site. Admin, if I get approved, I would like to ask if you would'nt mind me sharing info on the boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nc marlin Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 That would be awsome if they gave you that status. Do you expect to get it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapeFish Posted March 15, 2004 Author Share Posted March 15, 2004 i don't expect it, but if i get it i can use official logos and have other content for the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nc marlin Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 Would that give you the ability to gain access to places like the locker room with a press pass as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapeFish Posted March 15, 2004 Author Share Posted March 15, 2004 Would that give you the ability to gain access to places like the locker room with a press pass as well? i would not use the press pass. i could get photos, official releases, stories, stats, and other things that would be helpful to this site.

Admin Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 Good luck, I don't even have one and I run the site. They don't consider this site to be anything more than another fansite and fansites can't get credentials it would seem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapeFish Posted March 15, 2004 Author Share Posted March 15, 2004 I got denied. You go to any of the team sites, click on the media link on the bottom and follow the directions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Das Texan Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 Good luck, I don't even have one and I run the site. They don't consider this site to be anything more than another fansite and fansites can't get credentials it would seem. its part of MLB's stupidity. A number of NBA fansites have press credentials.

Beinfest4Prez Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 I believe a number of NHL team fansites have press credentials too. One being Sabresfans.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVPosey Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 Good luck, I don't even have one and I run the site. They don't consider this site to be anything more than another fansite and fansites can't get credentials it would seem. basically, you have to work for a corporation owned site or whatever or else you won't get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
