Non-accredited in this case, means they are not part of the official paid coverage. Media organizations pay rights to cover the sports and for access to all the venues, and are located in the International Broadcast Center or the Main Broadcast Center. So, unaccredited does not mean (as I first thought), non-traditional media like citizen journalists that myself, Kris, and Robert are representing, but rather all those that have not paid rights. Even the major media organizations, such as CBC, New York Times, BBC, etc., only have a limited number of accredited media, and all their extra journalists use the Media Center as their base camp. They cover all those elements of the Games that are not the sporting events. For example, press conferences covering the bands that are playing at the Medal Center are held at the non-accredited center.</p> Media Center non-accredited Piemonte torino Torino 2006 wifi Thu, 16 Feb 2006 10:48:02 -0800
