News Media Policies and Guidelines
The International Heat Transfer Association (NARSA) welcomes press coverage of its major meetings, regional educational workshops, and its official publication, The Cooling Journal. Representatives from recognized news organizations or publications are cordially invited to attend sessions at these events and to receive complimentary copies of The Cooling Journal for the express purpose of gathering news and information to produce editorial coverage of the meetings and/or publication.
In addition to the Annual Convention, NARSA holds a series of regional educational workshops throughout the year. The following policies and guidelines have been prepared for news media interested in covering these meetings as well as those interested in The Cooling Journal. If you have any questions regarding policies or available resources, please contact Yarissa Reyes, NARSA’s communications manager at 856-642-4420 or via email at yreyes@ahint.com. We look forward to working with you.
Complimentary registration is available to representatives of print, electronic and Internet general interest media and trade media (collectively known as press). To register as press, journalists must contact NARSA’s communications manager at least one week in advance of the meeting. There will be no on-site media registration available.
Registration for the Annual Convention or the regional educational workshops will be coordinated through Yarissa Reyes, NARSA’s communications manager.
Complimentary issues of The Cooling Journal will be made available to subscribing journalists. To subscribe, please contact Yarissa Reyes at 856-642-4420 or via email at yreyes@ahint.com
To qualify as press, journalists must present media identification or a business card issued by a recognized news organization. Freelance journalists must also present a letter of assignment on letterhead from a recognized news organization or publication.
Journalists working for publishing companies must have appropriate press credentials (i.e., proof of an editorial assignment) in order to register, and the publication must meet the following criteria:
- Must have multiple sponsors (no single-sponsor publications)
- Must have complete editorial freedom from their sponsors
- Exhibitors will not be allowed to register as press unless they can provide proof of an editorial assignment
Journalists reporting for online media outlets who wish to register as press must work for news-making organizations that meet the following criteria:
- The Web site must provide original, editorial news coverage
- Editorial content must be independent of advertising and sponsorship
- Advertising on the Web site must be clearly identifiable as such
Reporters, producers and editors agree to the embargoes and release times stated on the news releases and other materials, including electronic editions of The Cooling Journal. Failure to abide by the embargoes will result in suspension of credentials, which will affect attendance at future conferences and ability to receive advance press materials, including The Cooling Journal.
Information regarding media registrants is proprietary. NARSA does not make available press registration lists.
Media events or news briefings other than those organized by NARSA are not permitted in any NARSA meeting areas without prior consent from NARSA’s communications manager.
NARSA reserves the right to bar from future meetings any journalist who deliberately promotes the viewpoint of one company or institution, or who attempts to solicit manuscripts, advertising, or subscriptions from registrants or exhibitors.
