Interview Request Policy
All requests for interviews with William Paterson University student-athletes and Athletics staff members must first be submitted to the William Paterson Office of Sports Information. This policy applies for both members of the working media, as well as for requests in regards to educational (class) projects. A time mutually convenient for both parties will be arranged by a member of the Sports Information staff.
It is requested that interview requests be submitted to the Sports Information staff at least 48 hours in advance, except for the case of post-event reaction for home events. Media members who wish to cover an Athletics home event should notify the Sports Information Office at least 24 hours in advance (72 hours for broadcasts). Interviews are not conducted on game days, with the exception of post-event reactions.
Photographers / VideographersÂ
For both practices and competition, still and video photography from any area other than spectator seating requires prior approval from the William Paterson Sports Information Department. Media credentials will be reserved for established news organizations, and approved media partners who work directly for William Paterson Athletics and its intercollegiate programs. WP Athletics does not issue sideline credentials to other photographers, videographers, or social media content creators. WP students who are seeking access in order to complete a course assignment must forward the assignment details, course name and number, and the professor's email address when requesting access.
A request to the Sports Information Department must be submitted at least 24 hours prior to the start of the athletic event. Requests initiated at the site of the event will be denied, as prior approval is required. All approved individuals will be required to sign a liability waiver, a minimum of 30 minutes before the contest start time, at the site of competition in order to receive her/his credential. Late arrivals cannot be accommodated, due to staff’s other event management responsibilities. Individuals must be at least 18 years of age in order to be credentialed. State-issued ID may be requested on site by WP staff to verify age. Please contact Sports Information Director Matt Tedino (email/phone listed above) for more information.
