PRESS / MEDIA CREDENTIALS
Media Credentials
By applying for a credential for the North Texas Bulls Football Club, you indicate that you have read, fully understand and are in agreement with the following professional journalism policies.
All requests will be reviewed individually by the North Texas Bulls Football Club Media Desk and its assigned staff or representatives or communications staff. Meeting any of the below requirements does not guarantee approval. Space constraints may affect approvals.
To ensure that all qualified media agencies have the appropriate access and working space, these guidelines and policies have been developed by the football sports industry
Credential requests will be considered only if they are submitted by the sports editor, sports director/producer or photo editor. Each application will stand on its own merits. Membership in a writers’ or broadcasters’ association does not automatically qualify a media outlet or individual for credentials. Having been credentialed for other games or major events does not automatically qualify an agency or individual for credentials.
By applying for a credential, the sports editor, sports director/producer, or photo editor confirms having read, fully understands and agrees with the following professional guidelines and policies:
Credentials may be issued to working members of the media representing recognized outlets in the business of news gathering as their primary source of revenue. Credentials are granted at the discretion of the North Texas Bulls Football Club, in conjunction with the participating conferences and institutions, as well as the school district (if applicable), Globe Life Stadium, and AT&T Stadium. The types of media outlets eligible for credentials include: newspapers, websites, magazines, wire services, football publications, television and radio.
The dissemination of editorial content must be the primary purpose of the news outlet and the news outlet must demonstrate a record of sustained, original coverage of college football, on a daily basis.
Local news outlets must demonstrate a record of sustained, original news content on local sports and/or news, including coverage of the participating institution.
Credentials will not be issued to representatives whose outlet exists solely as a platform for distributing unoriginal content (press releases, aggregate news sites, etc.).
All media outlets must adhere to the North Texas Bulls Football Club “Use of Footage” agreement, as well as the North Texas Football CLub “Digital and Online Policy” agreement.
Priority will be given to media outlets that have staffed and reported all home games of a participating institution, though this does not guarantee credentials.
Credential requests will only be approved for those assigned to cover the game by the sports editor, sports director/producer or photo editor. Credentials are not transferable and may be revoked at any time.
Subject to limitations of space, credentials for photo staff members shall be assigned to outlets requiring immediate news coverage. The Associated Press, Getty, Sports Illustrated, and USA Today Sports Images each may receive a maximum of six photographer credentials. Reuters, Icon and Cal Sports Media may receive a maximum of four photographer credentials.
A business enterprise from the locale of the game, or the participating teams, which is involved in the dissemination of football news on a weekly basis or more frequently to audiences from ethnically, socially or culturally diverse backgrounds may be eligible for credentials if space is available.
Freelance reporters or photographers will not be credentialed unless they are working under a specific assignment. Credential applications must be accompanied by a request on official company letterhead. Such requests may receive one credential if space is available.
When space is available, credentials may be issued to a full-time, salaried employee or a representative who regularly performs services for an international news outlet. Such request must be accompanied by an official request on company letterhead from the editor and will be vetted with the Association Internationale Presse Sportive (AIPS).
