The National Genealogical Society (NGS) announces
the opening of Official Blogger and Social Media Press registration for the
2014 Family History Conference, which will be held 7–10 May 2014 in Richmond,
Virginia.
In recognition of the important media role played
by bloggers and social media press, NGS invites bloggers and social media
writers to register at http://goo.gl/hSRnU5
for official Social Media Press designation for the NGS 2014 Family History
Conference. Social Media Press includes bloggers, micro-bloggers, and other
social media. Registration is now open and will close on 21 February 2014. NGS
will notify accepted Social Media Press by 1 March 2014. For more information
on the NGS Social Media Policy, see http://goo.gl/Sigp7P.
NGS recognizes the number of engaged and talented
bloggers who regularly write about the release of new records, upcoming events,
research methods, tools, software choices, and other items of interest to the
genealogical community. The special designation, Social Media Press, by NGS for
the 2014 Family History Conference recognizes the daily contributions social
media writers make to keep the field of genealogy current, particularly with
news that is not covered in the mainstream media.
Official Social Media Press will have a limited
license to select and use the designation and logo Official Social Media Press
or Official Blogger for reporting conference events from acceptance through
post-conference reporting. Other benefits of official recognition will include
receipt of a press kit upon conference check-in and access to the Press table
located in the Wi-Fi area just outside the exhibit hall. In addition, NGS will
award a $50 registration credit for the NGS 2015 Family History Conference to
the five Social Media Press authors who provide the most comprehensive coverage
at the 2014 conference. The award recipients will be announced before the end
of May 2014.
