Media Badge:
Qualifications:
The publication has
to be in print for at least one year with at least a 2,000
circulation per issue.
Samples of such publication
may be required to be submitted to Anime North.
Any smaller publication/media representation will be considered at the
discretion of Anime North
Webzine/Web-publishing Media Badge:
The website has to be
live prior to January 1, 2005. (Note: newly launched but legitimate websites
will be accepted under the discretion of Anime North).
5,000 hits/month and at least 1,000 unique visitors per month. Please
provide a live link to both your website and to your statistics page.
The webzine/website
is updated weekly.
The webzine/website is represented by true journalistic activities. Samples
of reports/articles will be reviewed. As we are supportive of fan-based
websites, we wish only to support those that present themselves in a professional
journalistic manner. "Con report" websites do not necessarily
qualify as legitimate contributors or members of the press/media.
"Fan sites" based upon the works or on the individual Guest
of Honor will not be considered unless the website presents itself as
a website that is legitimate in press or media activities.
Due to the high volume of applications for media badges, their limited
numbers as well as the privileges they grant, they will be made available
to only those publications that are reporting on the convention itself
(Activities, Guests, awards, etc.). As a general rule of thumb, we request
that a minimum of three quarters of the report focus on the core aspects
of Anime North itself.
Radio: (Web and/or
FM/AM)
Transmitter must be equal or stronger then 1 Megawatt, or broadcast at
a minimum of 32kbps streaming connection capable of supporting a minimum
of 500 simultaneous connections.
Must serve an average daily audience of 1000 listeners. AM/FM will be
requested for frequency information, and have ready at request a sample
of programming if transmit radius falls outside the GTA. Web casters will
be requested for a live link to the website including the broadcasting
link, please have hosting and connection information available if requested.
The webzine/website/radio has to cover at least one of the following:
- Anime
- Manga
- Conventions
- Japanese Culture
- Canadian Pop Culture
- Asian Culture
- Gaming
