The press id card is really just a proof that you are working for the media you are telling you are. Organizers do not grant media access so that you can have fun taking photos, there is a work to be done, report about the event in the media. You know your work has been appreciated if they accept you a second time, or even invite you to come back, and this is actually happening to me in this second year. Thank you Merle.

Thank you also for explaining the value of your press id card, and the preparation involved in the use of it to attend and cover events. I believe that we have an ehtical responsibility to provide follow up publicity for the privilege of attending an event without charge and I am glad that you stressed that point. I would feel the same way should I choose to join, and would feel a responsiblility to IPA as well, to not misuse our privileges. Aloha and Mahalo for sharing your story.

I enjoyed the information that was provided. I have been pouring over every inch of the IPA website and I really think this was exactly what I was looking for! I am a freelance writer and photographer and I am going back to school to get my B.A. in journalism from UMASS. I need to build up my portfolio and I think by becoming a member, I will be able to do just that! Thanks for the wonderful article! Regards, Ashley D. This article was very insightful.

]]> Comment on Your IPA Profile Is The Key To Your Success by Len Rapoport http://internationalpress.com/blog/blog/success/comment-page-1/#comment-6600 Len Rapoport Tue, 19 Jul 2011 05:54:24 +0000 http://internationalpress.com/blog/?p=91#comment-6600 Actually it is quite easy and there are a few ways they can do this. They need to simply register on our site as a Visitor. It doesn't take much to do this and once they have submitted their registration they have their own login to our site as is the case with most sites or forums. Then they can do a member search or simply click on a link directly to your profile. Members can also set up their own Visitor login and give this to anyone they want to see their profile on our site. We have a set we use that is a general login that we include in any emails we send out to people we might have interviewed or others we want to see our members profiles. This of course adds a layer of security and helps to thwart bots and spammers from hitting our site with spam and also gives our members a bit of control over who will see their profiles on our site. One last method should you want them to simply see your published works on our site is to just have them do a search with your name on our home page, contact us page or in our site map. We have a Google site wide search that will come up with a match of everything you have on our site, except of course your profile which can only be seen by someone who has logged in.
