Please see:
Media Advisory 1 for important information regarding visas for international reporters: http://www.agu.org/sci_soc/prrl/prrl0524.html
Media Advisory 2 for information on hotel bookings at meeting rates. (The deadline was 3 November 2005.) http://www.agu.org/sci_soc/prrl/prrl0533.html
Media Advisory 3 for information on searching online for sessions and abstracts: http://www.agu.org/sci_soc/prrl/prrl05336.html
1. Preliminary press conference information
As usual at Fall Meeting, we are planning a variety of press conferences and related events for News Media registrants. The following list of topics is a work in progress. Any of them may be dropped or modified in substance, and others may be added. A subsequent advisory, late in November, will provide the full schedule (still subject to change), including descriptive statements and names of participants for each one.
2. Field trip update
The planned itinerary of our 4 December field trip, which is pegged to the upcoming centennial of the San Francisco earthquake, remains as stated in Media Advisory 3 (although always subject to change): http://www.agu.org/sci_soc/prrl/prrl0536.html#3
Although we are currently running a wait list, we hope that at least some of its members will be confirmed prior to the day of the trip. Also, in past years, there have been some no-shows, and wait listed people were able to participate. The wait list, in priority order, will be included in the next media advisory.
If you are confirmed and your plans change so that you cannot participate, please inform Harvey Leifert as soon as possible. See Who's Coming (Item 5, below) for those who are confirmed and those on the Wait List.
Wardrobe note: The trip will take place rain or shine, but if it rains or has recently rained, some areas may be muddy. Please wear appropriate shoes or boots and take a raincoat or poncho, etc., as well as an umbrella.
Lunch: We will provide box lunches to be eaten en route, as noted in the itinerary. Those who are confirmed, as well as those on the wait list, who have special dietary needs should advise Harvey Leifert as soon as possible.
3. News Media registration information
News Media registrants receive a badge that provides access to any of the scientific sessions of the meeting, as well as to the Press Room and Briefing Room. No one will be admitted without a valid badge.
New: This year, News Media registrants who have preregistered will pick up their badges at a special window or kiosk in the main registration area on Level 1 (street level), not in the Press Room on Level 2, as in the past. Be prepared to show identification (see below).
If you have not preregistered, you may fill out a News Media Registration Form, available at the News Media window, presenting appropriate identification. Your badge will be made on site.
No one will be allowed into the Exhibition Hall (Level 1) or up the escalators or elevator to Levels 2 and 3 without a badge.
Eligibility for press registration is limited to the following persons:
Note: Representatives of publishing houses, for-profit corporations, and the business side of news media must register at the main registration desk at the meeting and pay the appropriate fees, regardless of possession of any of the above documents. They are not accredited as Press at the meeting.
Scientists who are also reporters and who are presenting at this meeting (oral or poster session) may receive News Media credentials if they qualify (see above), but must also register for the meeting and pay the appropriate fee as a presenter.
4. News Media Registration Form
The News Media Registration Form is set up for online submission, but includes a link to a version that can be printed out and faxed or mailed. Go to: http://www.agu.org/meetings/fm05/?pageRequest=press_reg
The last day for advance News Media registration, assuring that your badge will be waiting for you when you arrive, is Wednesday, 23 November 2005. You may also register onsite at the News Media booth in the Registration area on Level 1 (street level).
5. Who's coming
