event-press-relationslisted

Run earned press coverage for a technical event - a one-way ask, not a barter deal. Covers whether to pursue press at all (most community events correctly do not), a two-lane accreditation policy for editorial journalists and independent bloggers or creators, the ungated media page, announcements pegged to the CFP, lineup, programme, on-sale and wrap-up beats, the embargo posture, the on-site press operation and interview logistics, and the single spokesperson designated before an incident needs one. Use whenever asked about press accreditation, a press kit or media page, pitching journalists about an event, embargoed announcements, a press room, or who speaks to reporters. Do NOT use for barter media partnerships - use samber/dev-event-organizer-skills@event-media-partnerships.

Make two irreversible failures less likely: - A refusal that becomes a public dispute. - A statement that cannot be unsaid. Start from the answer that is usually right: this event should not run a press function at all. Two major developer-community events have no press accreditation policy. - **PyCon US** has no current published press page, only a defunct 2013 one. - **FOSDEM** requires no registration at all - "You don't need to register. Just turn up and join in!" - so "press access" there has no mechanism to grant or deny. Read that as precedent, not as a gap they forgot to fill. ## What this skill owns, and what siblings own instead - **Barter is not earned coverage.** A two-way visibility exchange with a newsletter, podcast or community - logo for blurb, no cash - belongs to `samber/dev-event-organizer-skills@event-media-partnerships`, which draws the same line from its side: earned coverage is "a one-way ask the event neither controls nor reciprocates". The moment something is promised back in return for words, hand the task over. - **On-site press handling belongs here.** `samber/dev-event-organizer-skills@event-vip-management` routes it to this skill, which "claims accreditation, embargoes a
