MEDIA
Credentialed media attend the annual meeting to cover stories for
consumer, trade and other media outlets, and are easily identified
by their black press ribbons. Media has access to all general
sessions and limited access (at the discretion of speakers) to Meet
the Professor and Workshop sessions.
Media may use hand-held audio recorders and still cameras;
moving video recording is also permitted with the permission of
the presenter(s). The exception to this policy is that an exhibit
may not be photographed or videotaped without the permission
of the authorized exhibitor. Annual meeting attendees who have
questions about the ACR’s media policies should contact Erin
Latimer at elatimer@rheumatology.org.
EMBARGO POLICY
Accepted abstracts are made available to the public online in
advance of the meeting and are published in a special supplement
of Arthritis & Rheumatism. Information contained in those
abstracts may not be released until the abstracts appear online.
Academic institutions, private organizations and companies
with products whose value may be influenced by information
contained in an abstract may issue a press release to coincide
with the availability of an ACR abstract online.
However, the ACR continues to require that information that
goes beyond that contained in the abstract, e.g., discussion of
the abstract done as part a scientific presentation or presentation
of additional new information that will be available at the time
of the meeting, is under embargo until 5:00 pm Eastern Time on
Sunday, November 7th. Violation of this policy may result in the
abstract being withdrawn from the meeting and other measures
deemed appropriate.
Authors are responsible for notifying financial and other sponsors
about this policy.
