Information for Sports Information Directors, athletic communications professionals, and conference offices
Acela Tribune is an independent digital publication operating as a central assignment desk for sports photography and editorial coverage. We coordinate credentialed photographers across regions to provide on-site visual documentation of collegiate and professional sporting events.
We are not a newspaper. We are not a blog. We are a professional media organization built to deliver editorial-standard photography with the reliability and compliance that athletic communications offices require.
The Acela Tribune Assignment Desk identifies events for coverage and assigns credentialed photographers based on location and availability.
Acela Tribune submits credential requests on behalf of assigned photographers, identifying the outlet and the specific assignment.
Photographers cover the event in compliance with all venue, league, and NCAA policies, delivering editorial-standard images.
Images are submitted to Acela Tribune with accurate captions and metadata for editorial use and publication.
Acela Tribune fully complies with NCAA, conference, league, venue, and event credentialing policies.
All photographers assigned by Acela Tribune are required to adhere to designated shooting positions, respect restricted areas, and follow all venue rules and guidelines.
Credentials are used strictly for editorial coverage purposes. Commercial use of credentialed access is prohibited and violates our editorial standards.
We maintain strict editorial standards to ensure accuracy, professionalism, and compliance. Contributors who violate credential policies are immediately removed from our network.
