We
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you, members
of the media, to London.
The Press Operations team at LOCOG has worked for
the best part of seven years to give you an environment
that will enable you to work efficiently during the Olympic
Games. We recognise the increased pace of your world
over the last few years, and how incredibly hard you
work during the Games. We want to make sure that you find everything you
need to report on what I hope will be stunning days of great competition.
For photographers we have ensured that you will be able to capture images
with a distinct sense of place that will forever speak of the sporting exploits
in London.
We have listened to your feedback and where possible we have adjusted
our plans, for example, the importance of staying in venues to finish working,
the desire for good quality, readily accessible food, the necessity for reliable
internet connectivity and a ’can do’ approach required by the people who
will be working – both paid and volunteer – with Press Operations. We know
these things matter and we have tried to build an operation which starts and
finishes with your needs.
We hope you find this handbook a useful tool in your day to day work in
London but please remember that the Press Operations team is here to assist
you throughout your stay. Please don’t hesitate to ask if they or any other
parts of our organisation can do anything to help.

Introd
I am pleased to welcome you to the London 2012
Olympic Games.
We’ve made some changes and innovations from
previous Games that we are excited to share with you:
–– robust, cabled internet at every desk and every
tabled tribune position
–– Venue Media Centres open four hours after competition
–– myInfo+ portable on your laptop; inside and outside venues
–– myPrint – free remote printing from your laptop
–– delivery of light refreshments to desks in the Main Press Centre
London has lent some of its most iconic landmarks to the Games this summer.
You can look forward to Equestrian events in the city’s oldest Royal Park,
Greenwich Park; Athletics and Cycling on The Mall – Buckingham Palace’s
’front drive’; Tennis at historic Wimbledon; and Beach Volleyball at the
ceremonial centre of London, Horse Guards Parade.
The Games have also changed the landscape of London. The Olympic Park
in Stratford has transformed a previously industrial area, with award-winning
venues and a truly sustainable legacy for east London. The new venues on the
Olympic Park have already become part of the city’s story, and we know they
will provide the backdrop for an unforgettable summer of sport.
Whether you are familiar with the city or a first-time visitor to London, the
Press Operations team wishes you a successful, an inspiring and a truly
memorable Games.

Access to the common domain
All accredited media have access to the common domain of the Olympic Park.
Direct access on foot to the common domain of the Olympic Park is available via a
bridge at the southern end of the IBC/MPC Complex (past the Catering Village and
IBC). Crossing at street level will be allowed depending on traffic flow.
As the common domain is considered an Olympic venue, its operations fall under
the filming restrictions outlined in the IOC’s News Access Rules. Accredited Non-
Rights Holding Broadcasters (ENRs) are only permitted to film in the common domain
with a valid International Olympic Committee common domain filming pass, which is
allocated by the IOC, and in accordance with the rules outlined in the News Access
Rules. Passes will be allocated daily by the IOC at the IOC Media Operations office
on level 1. The IOC News Access Rules and the common domain rules can be found
in Info+, the Main Help Desk and IOC Media Operations office.
Alcohol in the MPC
Alcohol (beer, wine and spirits) is available for sale at the MPC bar and the Media
High Street bar. Bulk orders for alcohol deliveries to private offices can be placed via
the online catering website.

The MPC has an emergency notification system on every floor. In the event of an
emergency, a voice alarm will sound and you will be directed either to stay in place or
evacuate the building. If you are instructed to evacuate the building, please leave all
personal belongings behind and move as quickly as possible to the nearest emergency
exit. MPC staff will be available to direct you to the nearest safe exit and to the
mustering area (assembly point) located to the west of the MPC along the canal; please
comply immediately with all staff instructions. Further instruction will be provided at the
muster point and you will be informed when it is safe to re-enter the building.

An entertainment area featuring music and live performances is located in the Media
High Street. The schedule of performers and acts will be published at the stage and

Olympic News Service
The Olympic News Service (ONS) provides the world’s media with independent,
balanced coverage of international wire-service standards.
News will be provided without bias towards any sport, athlete or NOC. There will be
comprehensive coverage from every event, every session, every day, across every sport
at the Olympic Games.
Our operating principles are captured in the mnemonic BASICS. Every report we
produce aims to be: Balanced, Accurate, Speedy, Interesting, Concise
and Simple.
A news team, consisting of experienced editors and reporters, many with language
skills, will be in operation at each of the 36 sports and disciplines across the Olympic
Games. All material is verified and published by a central team of editors based at
the Main Press Centre.
All ONS output is available on Info+ and myInfo+, with a selection of reports also
printed and distributed via custom-built pigeonholes at the Main Press Centre and the
Venue Media Centres.
To minimise waste and help meet our sustainability targets fewer paper copies will be
available than at previous Games. You can print documents on demand at an Info+
terminal or use the new myPrint service (see page 52 for details).
Info+ / myInfo+
Info+, the official Games-time intranet system for the accredited media, has had a major
overhaul for London 2012. Easier to search and easier to navigate, we believe it is a
more useful tool for the working media than ever before.
Fixed Info+ terminals throughout the Main Press Centre, International Broadcast Centre
and Venue Media Centres contain a huge range of information provided by both ONS
and the official Games results system.
In London, for the first time, Info+ is also available to press via a secure online sign-in.
This service, which is accessible anywhere to online users, is known as myInfo+.

Among the information available on Info+ / myInfo+ is:
–– Full schedules and results
–– Live scoring across all sports
–– All the Games-related news, including previews, reviews, statistics,
flash quotes and media conference coverage
–– Biographies on every competitor
–– Contacts lists for key personnel at LOCOG, the NOCs, International Federations
and more
–– Historical data and statistics
–– Medals and records
–– Transport details to help plan your working day
–– Weather
–– Messageboards for communications managed directly by authorised Info+
users, including the IOC, LOCOG, NOCs, International Federations and future
Organising Committees
–– Media handbook, a downloadable version of this handbook
Users of myInfo+ have the added convenience of being able to copy and paste content
onto their own laptop, register for SMS / email alerts, build their own daily competition
schedule, download PDF results reports, access the service from anywhere, not just
fixed terminals, and more.
Full details of all of the internet packages are available on page 319 of this media
handbook. If you do not already have a myInfo+ account and would like to purchase
one, please call 033 2012 1111 to pay by Visa.
51

myPrint
Another new development for London 2012 is the free-of-charge myPrint service, which
allows registered users (those who already have an internet and/or myInfo+ account) to
print directly from their own PC or laptop.
With no software required, users simply email their printing to a remote server and use
a unique six-digit code to pick it up from any one of the 120 myPrint devices located
across all competition venues and the MPC. Quick, secure, easy.
Knowledge is power … get it on Info+

Info+ has changed, and to help the media get the most out of the new system,
ONS will be running special training sessions at the MPC in the week leading up
to the Games.
In an informal environment we will show users how to find the key information
they need to do their job, as well as pointing out some of the ’hidden’ features
of the system.
For more information see the posters around the MPC or ask at the Main
Help Desk.

Operating hours
Before the Games
Facilities are open to the media three days before competition starts in a venue.
The exceptions are Eton Dorney (for Rowing and Canoe Sprint) and Weymouth
and Portland (for Sailing) – where the Venue Media Centres are open from 16 July.
Anyone wishing to go to a venue for familiarisation or testing of any Rate Card
service, can do so from 16 July. Simply call the Venue Media Manager or Venue
Photo Manager in advance and they will ensure you can gain entry to the venue.
Non-competition days
Facilities will be open, in general, from 09:00 to 18:00.
Competition days
Media facilities are open in the venues, three hours before competition starts
until four hours after competition ends.
Note that media transport at venues outside the Olympic

Park is aligned to these operating times: the last bus will
leave the venue at the designated closing time.

High-demand events
For certain sessions, the demand for space in a venue will exceed the capacity
available in the tribunes and photo positions. For these events, a ticket as well as an
accreditation pass is required to enter the venue. Tickets are free of charge and will
be distributed to NOCs from the IOC high-demand event ticketing office at the Main
Press Centre. The IOC will not allocate tickets directly to the press, with the exception
of (1) press affiliated with smaller NOCs that do not have the adequate staff, or (2)
uncollected tickets that will be distributed to press on a first come, first served basis
at pre-set times.
Only press with an E, EP, Es, EPs or ET accreditation are eligible to receive a ticket
for high-demand events. Rights Holding Broadcasters receive their high-demand event
tickets at the IBC.
Sessions already designated as high demand are: Opening Ceremony, Closing
Ceremony and Swimming finals. More sessions may be added during the Games
if demand necessitates it; media will be advised of any such changes in a timely
manner via Info+ and the SMS alerts system.
Full details of the IOC’s policies for press ticketing for high-demand events can be found
on Info+ and at the IOC Media Operations/high-demand event ticketing office.

–– Mixed Zones
–– Media lounges
Holders of E-category accreditation also have access to the Main Press Centre (MPC)
(except Ex and EPx) and media transport (TM).
Accreditation for high-demand events
In addition to valid accreditation, a high-demand event ticket will be required to access:
–– Opening Ceremony
–– Closing Ceremony
–– Swimming finals
–– Any other event deemed ’high demand’ by the IOC
Only E, Es, EP, EPs and ET accreditation is eligible to receive tickets for
high-demand events.

Tickets are free of charge and will be distributed to NOCs from the IOC
high-demand event ticketing office at the Main Press Centre. The IOC will
not allocate tickets directly to the press, with the exception of:
(1) press affiliated with smaller NOCs which do not have adequate staff; or
(2) uncollected tickets that will be distributed to press on a first come, first served basis
at pre-set times.
Full details of the IOC’s policies for press ticketing for high-demand events can be found
on Info+ and at the IOC Media Operations/high-demand event ticketing office.
Lost, stolen or damaged accreditation
All lost or stolen accreditations must be reported to the nearest accreditation centre
where they will be immediately cancelled. Damaged accreditations will be destroyed
and replaced.
The individual must complete and sign a lost or stolen accreditation declaration form.
The National Olympic Committee (or International Olympic Committee in the case of
certain individuals) must reconfirm accreditation directly with the accreditation centre
before a new accreditation will be issued.
The Media Accreditation Centre is adjacent to the Media Transport Mall next to the
IBC/MPC complex.

Blogging
The IOC actively encourages and supports athletes and other accredited persons at the
Olympic Games, including the media, to take part in ’social media’ and to post, blog
and tweet. The media are, and have always been, permitted to use blogs, twitter and
other social media platforms to report from the Olympic Games.
The IOC’s Social Media, Blogging and Internet Guidelines can be found on Info+
or write to media.operations@olympic.org for further details.
Guest Passes
Guest Passes are available for both the MPC and the Olympic Village, granting
short-term access to approved visitors.
See the ’Main Press Centre’ and ’Venue Press Operations – Olympic Village’
sections for more detail.
Electricity
Standard mains power in the UK is supplied at 230 Volts AC @ 50 Hertz.
The traditional three-pin fused plug conforms to British Standard BS1363.
Non-Rights Holding Broadcasters (ENRs)

Non-Rights Holding Broadcasters (ENRs) need to be familiar with the IOC’s News
Access Rules available at www.olympic.org
The News Access Rules come into effect on 16 July 2012.
The only venue where an ENR is allowed to bring in and use video/audio recording
equipment is the Main Press Centre. At all other venues, including the Olympic Village
and training venues, an ENR is regarded as a journalist and is permitted access to all
press areas but without video/audio recording equipment.
For information about filming in the Olympic Park common domain on a day-pass-only
basis, ENRs should go to the IOC Media Operations office on level 1 of the MPC.
ENRs are not eligible for tickets to high-demand events.

Press Rate Card
At Games time, Venue Access and Parking Permits (VAPPs), fixed telecom services,
mobile telephone services and SIM cards will be sold, subject to availability, at the
MPC Service Centre (location and hours of operation in the Main Press Centre section).

Security
Everyone will be subject to airport-style security screening when entering each venue,
with the exception of venues within Olympic Park. For the MPC and competition venues
within the Olympic Park, press will be screened only once, upon entry to the Park.
However, additional screening is required before entering the Olympic Village.
321

Each media screening area will have an ’outsize lane’ with a larger scanner for
larger items.
LOCOG Press Operations has developed a ’Tools of the Trade’ list of items that –
although on the ’prohibited items’ list – should pass without difficulty through security
screening at dedicated media lanes. Please declare these items prior to screening. The
list includes photographic equipment, wire cutters, wire strippers, pliers, crimp tools,
multi-purpose hand tools and other multi-tools. For a full list please see the MPC or
competition venue Photo Workroom Help Desk.
Telephones
The country code for the UK is 44. When calling from outside the UK, dial the
international dialing access number, then 44 and the 10-digit number (omitting the
zero between the country code and the number). When calling from inside the UK,
dial zero and then the 10-digit number.
Transport
For detailed information about the media transport system, please refer to the Media
Transport Guide.
A Transport Desk can be found on Level 0 of the MPC for information about getting
to all competition and training venues. Information is also available on Info+.
Public transport
Media have been issued with an Oyster card for travel on public transport in London,
free of charge. Use the journey planner at www.london2012.com/travel or

On competition days, the media transport (TM) system runs from the train station
(and airport in Glasgow) and from LOCOG press accommodation to the venue at
all venues, except Cardiff where both train station and accommodation are within
300 metres of the stadium.
Opening and Closing Ceremony nights
Media are able to walk or take the loop road shuttle to the Olympic Stadium during the
days of the Opening and Closing Ceremonies.
Please note, however, that between the hours of 16:00 and 19:00 the shuttle only
runs every 20 minutes from the MPC. After 19:00 there is no shuttle service until
approximately 01:00.

Press and photographers must have a ticket to enter the Olympic Stadium. Tickets are
distributed by the IOC to NOC press attachés (refer to Accreditation for high-demand
events in the Accreditation section of this handbook).
The pre-shows begin at 20:12 and the Opening and Closing Ceremonies start at 21:00.
Media guides will be available at the Olympic Stadium.
The loop road shuttle returning from the Olympic Stadium to either the MPC or Stratford
International station resumes at approximately 01:00. Media are free to leave the
Olympic Stadium and return to the MPC or Stratford International station on foot prior
to this time. All movement will be temporarily restricted during the pyrotechnics part
of the show for safety reasons. This takes approximately 20 minutes.
There may be restrictions on access into the common domain of the Park in the
afternoon and evening of these two days.
Full details are available on Info+ and from the MPC Main Help Desk, including exact
entrance and exit points of the Olympic Stadium. Media attending the Opening
and/or Closing Ceremonies are advised to check all details beforehand.
Departure services
Because of the unusually high volume of people flying out of London on 13 August,
media are strongly encouraged to fill in a departures form at the MPC Transport Desk
as soon as possible in order to use the Arrivals and Departures services to London
Heathrow Airport provided by LOCOG free of charge. Media who register will be
transferred from Bloomsbury to Paddington station where they can board the Heathrow
Express to Heathrow Airport (15–20 minute train journey depending on departure
terminal). Media leaving from other airports or train stations can enquire at the
MPC Transport Desk about transfer options.
Media housed near Russell Square are reminded that the London Underground Piccadilly
line has direct service from Russell Square London Underground station to Heathrow
Airport with an average journey time of one hour (and minimal luggage handling).
Please remember to book a taxi early from the hotel to Russell Square station.
Driving in London
Vehicles entering central London on weekdays from 07:00 to 18:00 must pay a daily
fee of £10 called the Congestion Charge. The MPC Transport Desk can provide
assistance for online registration to pay the Congestion Charge. LOCOG will pay
the Congestion Charge for vehicles hired through the Press Rate Card.
Parking
A Vehicle Access and Parking Permit (VAPP) is required to park at Olympic venues.
VAPPs can be purchased at the MPC service centre, subject to availability.
There is no parking for press within the Olympic Park or at the Olympic Villages.
