The alpine press chiefs meeting was this afternoon, with a good number of men’s and women’s World Cup sites represented. I am the lone American member of the conference, while Ken Kilroe from Lake Louise rounds out the North American contingent. The meetings represented a good first step in an attempt to understand the challenges that face all press chiefs, while also trying to address issues that are individualized, based on things such as geographic location and venue-specific logistics or limitations.
The major topic of discussion ended up being the FIS season media accreditation process and the determination of on-course photographers. In this regard, it was very beneficial to be able to represent the North American position, along with Ken, as this is definitely not a one-size-fits-all solution. If nothing else, Ken and my presence required that the group continues to think globally, rather than being focused only on Central Europe.
