->> Good morning, I just looked over the NFL credential use conditions and was wondering if y'all are accepting them or trying to fight anything. The main concerns I have are the limit of 10 images posted during a game (though I'm not too worried about that during a typical game) and the rest are pertaining to audio usage (we use excerpts of the the coach's post-game presser for an audio slide show). The conditions place the following restrictions on non-game audio (pressers, interviews, etc...):
90 second limit
can only be posted for 24 hours after game
must link back to NFL.com and the team's website
Thanks,
Ben Gray

->> Those are the same restrictions from last year. You can object but the precedent is out there. The rule with the Eagles was the 90 sec audio and video rule applied to any event "That you needed a credential to cover, enter or attend"
I think you will find that most teams are left to enforce their own markets and if they dont sense abuse then there wont be wrath. That was the deal in Philly.
"abuse" is a broad term though. |

->> Page 5 of the 2009 NFL credential use agreement:
"...(5) while a Game is in progress, any forms of accounts of the Game must be time-delayed and/or limited in amount (e.g., score updates with detail given only in quarterly game
updates, fewer than 10 photographs during the game)"
The NFL's 2009 credential use agree is on the NFL media site. It might also be on local team's media sites as well. |

->> I just received my agreement and am looking over it now.
Attachment B: Second page: . . .(a) any photographs are limited to a reasonable number, not sequenced so as to appear to be video of Game action. . .
The language is open to interpretation (unfortunately NFL's interpretation). I don't know what everyone else is doing, but our staffers use this technique a lot for our after-game sights/sounds presentations for the web. They look cool, and our readers seem to like it. Oh well. . .

| ->> Oh, and here's a doozy I've just been informed of. Reporters are not allowed NOTEBOOKS on the sidelines of training camp, which is open to interpretation by various teams evidently. Our reporters were told to STOP WRITING (they were using the margins of a roster) by "the local team's" Media handlers at training camp today. |
