The CIF acknowledges the responsibilities of legitimate newsgathering media representatives in covering and reporting from CIF-sponsored events. We recognize the interest and promotion generated by media coverage and the recognition given to the achievements of school teams and student-athletes. Therefore, the CIF has established regulations and guidelines to assist media with the requesting/issuing of working media credentials, the use of equipment by news-gathering media, and CIF property rights for Regional and State Championship competitions.
Any non-editorial, commercial, or other unauthorized use of any transmission, internet stream, photo, image, film, videotape, audiotape, any play-by-play depiction or description of any competition and/or game action and/or any non-editorial or commercial use of any team school name or logo, is prohibited without the written consent of the CIF.
