Olympics The U.S. Olympic Committee has the responsibility to accredit U.S. media for the Olympic Games. The accreditation process for the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia is presently underway with an initial deadline of August 31, 2012 for application. Only media companies, not individuals, may apply for accreditation. Media eligible for IOC accreditation through media companies include writers, editors and photographers from newspapers, magazines, online sites that provide original editorial content, news agencies (excluding Associated Press) and photo agencies. All media are accredited by organization and must represent that organization. The Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document below gives a good overview of the accreditation process.
