MEDIA CREDENTIAL APPLICATION PERIOD HAS EXPIRED
We are no longer accepting applications for media credentials.
Media credentials are reserved for members of the press – including, print, radio, TV, film, news agencies and online media – who represent a bona fide media organization. The media who will be covering the debate will watch the debate in real time in an adjacent space that will have a live feed displayed on monitors. Media does not have access to the actual debate hall. Chairs, desks, wireless access and electrical outlets will be provided. The debate partners have requested that the candidates be available to meet in person with the credentialed press following the debate. The media area is not open to the public and is open only to media members who have been credentialed by the partners.
(The partners for the beforeyouvote debates must be satisfied that the individuals applying for credentials are bona fide media professionals and represent bona fide media organizations. Applications are considered on a case-by-case basis and the decisions of the debate partners are final. The partners reserve the right to deny or withdraw credentials of journalists from media organizations who abuse the privileges so extended or put the credentials to improper use or act in a way not consistent with the principles of the organization.)

Palm Beach State College is providing a large space for the media filing center, but if there are more members of the media than space permits, on-site applications for credentials may not be granted.
