Our policy on the media now reads this:

In accordance with respect to local and state laws, Mid-South and Tennessee Anthropomorphic Art Association doing business as Mephit Fur Meet and also known as MFM, will not allow any type of photographic or video media coverage in any convention controlled areas. This includes but is not limited to any and all conference rooms and ballrooms. MFM also requires that every attendee must consent in writing to being photographed or video taped in any public space at the convention hotel location by the press and the written consent must be kept on file for a minimum of one year. If not all attendees consent to this, then any type of broadcast or publication is not allowable by any media outlet. It is also not allowed to photograph or video tape from any public space into any convention controlled space.

If a member of the press is found by any MFM attendee, they should contact a staff member immediately so that the staff member my present them a written copy of the MFM Press Policy in addition to an information packet about MFM.

No photographs or video of MFM may be used for any type of commercial use without prior written consent of Mid-South and Tennessee Anthropomorphic Art Association and can not be used for any financial gain. Any personal photos or video that are taken at MFM and placed on the internet, if asked, must be taken down immediately.
