In 2014, Dragon Con is changing how we manage interviews with guests.  The biggest change is that reporters who attempt to interview guests (celebrities and writers) without using our interview process will have their media credentials and their badges revoked immediately. Security will walk them from Dragon Con. This rule only applies to Dragon Con

In recent years the number of reporters covering Dragon Con has increased exponentially, and so has the number of reporters requesting interviews.  Working with agents, last year we had to limit interview requests to reporters with a significant distribution. We had a number of reporters go around our process and had significant complaints from agents, the Walk of Fame, and guests including both writers and media guests.

After reporters are approved for media access to Dragon Con 2014, some reporters will receive an invitation to request interviews.  The interview forms will be available shortly for you to request interviews.  If you have been approved as media, and do not have an invitation, you can expect that you will not be authorized to request interviews.

For those media members who have received your invitation to request interviews, interview request do not represent approval.  Please remember when making your request that each guest has limited time, and that if you are requesting to talk to a Star Trek Captain, you are in competition with major international media outlets and significant outlets in that fandom.  Think wisely before requesting the top guests at Dragon Con.
