Hi everybody! :3
I'm interested in applying for a press pass for Fanime 2011, but I'm not sure what types of journalists are generally approved. Would a visuals editor for a (quite snazzy) high school newspaper even be considered?
Please await professional registration to go up. Apply for industry/press when that comes up and they will approve or deny it.
However, bear in mind that the cost of registration will continue to go up as you wait for the approval.
