So I have been refused press accreditation for Farnborough International Airshow 2010. That's okay, I can understand that on the basis that this blog has been pretty quiet until now and in the whole scheme of things it's not that influential.
I just hope that the nice media people at Farnborough International Ltd (FIL) made the decision on these grounds and not simply because I am 'just a blogger'.
My blog may not be very important (hopefully that may change with time), but social media is very important, and giving influential bloggers press accreditation is just one way the aviation world can adapt to the wider digital media landscape.
I plan to go along to the show anyway, I have no problem buying a trade ticket, I just would have preferred a badge that properly reflected my reasons for attending the event. Oh, and the press parking is very convenient!
