LONDON MEDIA CENTRE GEOPEND VOOR ALLE INTERNATIONALE PERS

maandag 20 februari 2012

Based in central London, the LMC will be open to all press (both print and broadcast) interested in reporting the wider story taking place across London and the UK during the period of the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

By registering, media will get access to a working press room, edit facilities, outside broadcast positions and content programmes both in London and around the UK. The content will include everything from accessing celebrities and spokespeople, attractions, guided tours, hospitality and much more.

Once registered, the LMC pass will act as a discount card and filming permit for designated areas outlined in the broadcast guide and will be active between 1st July 2012 and 10th September 2012.

To benefit from the London Media Centre, all press MUST register for a place. Registration details can be found here.

In addition to the services and offerings at the London Media Centre, press will be able to take advantage of:
