Popular Questions This Week
Q: I just listened to the DCMR Podcast on Inteviews At Dragon Con, and I think I heard that Dragon Con reporters cannot request interview with guests on site? Is that right?
A: That is right. We respect our guests’ time and their desires to enjoy Dragon Con. Walk of Fame Guests are available for interview by invitation only. Reporters can request any other guest interview, but those guests need to approve those interviews prior to the convention.
Q: That Aquarium event looks interesting, and it looks like it is amazing to photograph, is that event included in our press pass/media passes.
A: Not, it is not. Everything at Dragon Con is included in your Dragon Con media access except for the Night at the Aquarium and the Dragon Con Awards Banquet
