The Gold Press Pass program embodies all
the vital information and features needed based on the real experiences
of our press photographers and the assignment editor of Today's Photographer
International magazine. Collectively, the Gold Press bundle represents a
total state-of-the-art "systems" approach designed to get you
and your camera to the action.
1. The GOLD SEAL
which appears throughout the credentails, is emblazoned with the American
Image PRESS logo to distinguish the new credentials with all of it's improvements,
from the original landmark Press Program. It is a result of carefully reviewing
every "gain access" situation experienced over the past 25 years.
We expect this new program will achieve markedly increased results accross
the board, for all kinds of events, all over the world.
2. ISSUING INFORMATION
has been added to the credentials which is extremely valuable for gaining
access in those particularly tough situations when credentials are being
scrutinized for every piece of validating information. Nationality, sex,
date and place of birth add verifiable information often required by uniformed
officials in law enforcement, fire and emergency, the military, customs
and immigration.
3. CLASSIFICATION
is now based on a full 4-tier range of publishing credits starting at
A for yet-to-be published photographers and reaching to AAAA for those
who are published frequently.
4. COMPLETE BUNDLE
of all credentials and Internet Verification is automatically shipped
to those who enroll in the Gold Press Program. Members no longer have to
decide whether the Badge style or Passport style credential works better
for the events they cover or whether covering weekend or after-hours events
warrants the Internet Verification option or not. You get it all.
5. INTERNET VERIFICATION
All Gold Press Pass holders will be assigned a verification code printed
on the face of all the credentials. This code can be used to verify your
assignment status with Today's Photographer magazine by press officials
24 hours a day EVERY day from anywhere in the world. The Internet Verification
site is at www.aipress.com/verify.
6. VERIFICATION UPDATES
Now you can go online using your Verification Code and update your own
Assignment Verification record. You can change your mailing address, add
an email address or change other contact information in seconds.
7. PUBLISHING CREDITS
Now you can actually display the names of the publications that have
published your photos right on your Internet Verification site so press
officials can see your breadth of experience. And... you can use your Verification
Code online and update your list of publishing credits as often as you
like, without having to call the American Image office.
8. RECENT ASSIGNMENTS
Now you can display your recent assignments on your Verification site
so press officials can see what kind of events you've been covering. And...
you can use your Verification Code online to update your display of recent
assignments as often as you like.
9. EXPIRATION DATE
At last, we have added an expiration date to our Press Credentials.
As great as the "lifetime" press credentials may seem, there
are big drawbacks. "No expiration date" is the single largest
reason for problems being accepted in some venues, not to mention that
photos become outdated. Gold Press Pass holders will be able to renew their
credentials every 3 years to keep them current, and they will get a whole
new set with each renewal.
10. NEW FEATURES
Even at the same price, the Gold Press Pass program has features enumerated
here that aren't even available in the previous program. The addition of
door-opening "Publishing Credits" and "Recent Assignments"
alone may achieve more in gaining new access as our original Press Program
concept born in 1985.
