Beijing 2022 non-accredited media center to open for registration

BEIJING, Dec. 24 (Xinhua) -- The Beijing 2022 media center for non-accredited journalists will be open for online registration from 10 a.m. December 25, 2021 to 10 a.m. January 10, 2022.

Apart from the Main Media Center, the non-accredited media center, to be set at Beijing International Hotel convention center from February 1-20, will provide information related to the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games for journalists without official Olympic accreditation.

Non-accredited journalists need to submit the sign-up information including their identities, certifications from the affiliated media outlets, and their records of full vaccination, through the official website - 2022bmc.cn in Chinese and 2022bmc.cn/en in English.

During the Winter Games, the media center will provide services in line with the Olympic Host Contract and international practices, which include press releases and interviews.

Due to COVID-19 concerns, the media center will mainly accommodate resident journalists from the Beijing offices of overseas media outlets instead of those who come to Beijing shortly before the Games unless necessary.
