Services for Journalists
Media Hosting
The SCVB Public Relations Department coordinates group and individual media visits in Seattle throughout the year. Requests are handled on an individual basis and the level of support provided depends upon the journalist's story, advance notice provided, time of year, length of stay and the ability of Seattle hotels and attractions to assist. If you're a journalist who is planning a trip to Seattle and need assistance, the following steps will help us to help you:
• Contact the SCVB Public Relations Department with as much lead time as possible. At least 30 days notice is appreciated.
• Include a letter of assignment from the media organization you represent and a description of your assigned story, including what you intend to cover, story length (word count or running time) and the date the story will be published or aired.
• Specify the circulation or audience size and other relevant demographic information about the media organization you represent.
• Provide samples of previously published stories. If you are a freelance journalist, this will be especially helpful in coordinating your visit.
