On 5.15.2007 ABC entertainment is holding their annual upfronts. What contrasts this year from the previous ones is that ABC is turning down all photo and media requests to cover the event. All photo agencies are being told that photos will only be made available through the Wire services which include (AP, Reuters, Getty, Wireimage and Filmmagic)
Several concerned individuals are attempting to launch a protest as soon as the denials reach critical mass.
The contact numbers at ABC are:
PHOTO EDITOR- ETTORE ZUCCARELLI ettore.zuccarelli@abc.com
VP PHOTOGRAPHY DAN RICHARDS 818 460-7407 dan.richards@abc.com
VP PUBLIC RELATIONS KEVIN BROCKMAN 818 460-7756kevin.brockman@abc.com
I would like to escalate this matter to the AD-SALES dept of ABC headed by MIKE SHAW 212 456-7272 mike.shaw@abc.com to inform them and ABC's advertisers on the potentially devastating effect this decision will have on the weeks publicity.
