Working media is identified below as those media personnel who have obtained approved Merced County Fair-Issued media credentials.

 

This Policy Is Necessary In Order To:

1. Accommodate working media quickly and efficiently.

2. Protect parking space availability for all media professionals working on-site during the Fair.

3. Assist Fair personnel in identifying the location of reporters for easy access transport on the Fairgrounds.
