Duties of the CIC Coordinator

 

1. The VPA coordinator must act impartially in making arrangements with the court, show no favoritism to the photographer's employer and no antagonism toward any competitor. Moreover, the coordinator must look out for the interest of all pool participants, especially newspapers who do not belong to a news service. 



 

2. The coordinator shall implement a mutually agreed-upon rotation. Otherwise, the rotation shall be determined by the drawing of names at least 24 hours prior to the court date to allow the notification of the court. The rotation shall be followed throughout the course of the trial. Photographers can be substituted with the verbal consent of the coordinator and other participants. 



 

3. The coordinator shall make sure that no costs of coverage shall be borne by the Commonwealth of Virginia. All costs of coverage rest with interested newspapers and news services. In the case of court proceedings with wide interest, the coordinator will arrange for a central processing facility where pool participants are to divide those responsibilities.
