Function of Journalist Pools
Journalists will cover summit events in pools.
Media representatives will be informed about opportunities to cover summit events through their national delegation's liaison officers. In addition, this information will be broadcast on the information channel of the International Media Center closed-circuit TV network. You may also address all questions concerning pool functioning to the Info desk in the Printed press working area.
Each pool covering a particular summit event will be issued a number. Journalists authorized to work in a pool will be given a yellow pool card specifying the pool number. The pool list is available at the Information Desk in the Press Area. The pool card is valid only with the accreditation badge and should be attached below it.
Pool cards are distributed by the national delegations' liaison officers in limited numbers. Requests to include media representatives in a particular pool should be addressed to the national delegation's press office. Cards for the majority of pools are also available at the Information Desk in the IMC.
Before proceeding to the event, participating journalists should gather at the Pool Meeting Area.
Pool meeting times will be announced both by the national delegations' liaison officers and on the information channel of the International Media Center closed-circuit TV network. It is recommended that participating journalists come to the Pool Meeting Area a few minutes before the announced time. Arriving late is not allowed and will be interpreted as the journalist's refusal to work in the pool.
Participating journalists will be taken to their workplace by a minibus accompanied by an Organizing Committee Media Division officer and a security officer. Coming to the pool workplace unaccompanied is not allowed.
Departure for each pool is only possible from the IMC.
