been reserved for reporters, photographers and videographers.
All news personnel are requested to remain in this section of the
auditorium during the services.  All photography inside the
auditorium must be conducted from the media section, and
reporters are asked not to approach mourners inside the
auditorium.

=FE All live broadcasts (stand ups, interviews, etc.) must be
conducted in the lobby or outside the building.
