What should you do if media arrive at an event?

When media arrive at an event, it is essential to advise them that they need permission from Parks Recreation. This action ensures that the organization maintains control over its image and that the media's presence aligns with the event's policies and guidelines. By doing so, event staff can manage how the event is portrayed and ensure that it adheres to any privacy or security concerns that may arise.

Furthermore, informing the media about the need for permission promotes a streamlined process, allowing for designated representatives to provide them with the necessary information and guidelines while ensuring that the event's purpose and atmosphere are respected. This approach not only safeguards the event's integrity but also facilitates a professional environment for both the media and the participants.
