Media Protocols for MCPS Regular Season Athletic Events
Media credentialing ensures a safe environment for members of the press covering MCPS athletic events, and is essential for easy identification and knowing who may be in our athletic facilities.
Who Needs to Present Athletic Event Media Credentials
All media, multimedia, journalists, reporters, bloggers, vloggers, social media channels, athletic promoters or individuals, or companies seeking access to an MCPS event for the purposes of recording, photography, videography, reporting, etc., must have applied for and received an official MCPS Athletic Event Credential. Each individual must present (and wear) this badge and lanyard while working at an MCPS athletic event.
Notification of Intent to Cover an Event
Credentialed individuals must also inform high school athletic directors of their intention to attend an event by email. Email contacts for local school athletic directors can be found here.
