Gay/Lesbian International News Network

Membership and Media Accreditation, Gay Media Credentials

GLINN News memberships are now available. Our goal is to provide basic accreditation in the form of Media Credentials and support services for individuals working in the gay/lesbian media.

Membership benefits include a full color, plastic heat laminated GLINN identification card. This professional identification card contains your personal information and photograph, along with a serial number. The News Media ID Card contains a slot at the top for hanging with a clip or strap. A clip is included.

Accredited members of the press will be entered into our online database. We will also assist in accreditation of media for Congressional access and other access requirements. Our telephone number is included on the back of the card for verification purposes.

Membership is open to any working member of the gay press, including print media, cable, radio, television and internet. Membership is available to freelancers as well, and freelance photographers and reporters will benefit from having an official media accreditation in dealing with governmental and other authorities. Membership is open to any working media person in the world.

Membership is $35.00 for the card and related support. This membership provides telephone and written confirmation of your status as a reporter/photojournalist for the Gay/Lesbian International News Network.

GLINN membership is open to any adult (over 18 years of age) citizen of the world who has worked in the gay/lesbian media. News Reporter accreditation requires you to submit at least one example of your work being published by the gay media with a by-line or a statement from the publication. News Photographer accreditation requires you to submit a published photograph with a printed credit line. A publication masthead listing you as an employee is also adequate. If your work appears online, provide the appropriate information so we can check it out. The accrediation process is to protect against fraudulent use of our identification materials.
