Speaking of crowds and branding, we have a FEW openings for staff reporters for The Beat's coverage of the 2016 New York Comic Con on October 6-9.
NYCC has cracked down on the number of press passes this year, so I know a lot of good people have been left out. We have been given a handful of slots to fill up, so here's your chance.
What we need:

The Indian comics scene has been growing rapidly, with an emerging middle class, and the spread of pop culture globally. A native Indian comics market is being supplemented by imports from the US and other English language companies. I met two of the principles of Comic Con India last year and they told me that indie comics are as popular as superheroes in their market—so there is definitley a lot to grow on here.
Speaking of which, The Beat needs an Indian comics correspondent! If you are interested email me at comicsbeat at gmail.

Things have been bustling here at the newly-founded Smart Cookie Studios, where our first app is almost ready to be revealed to the world! We’re going to launch our website and social media soon (Twitter, Facebook), and are prepping for pre-release so we can finally show you all the final art, music and interactivity we’ve been working so much on.
That being said, I want to know – WHO should we tell about our app?? Do you want news and updates about our new venture yourself? Do you have a great app reviewer we should know about? Know of someone in the industry we should follow on Twitter? Are a fan of another great app studio? Or blog? Or developer?
I’m looking for any and everyone under the sun, so send me Twitter handles! Facebooks! Websites! Emails! Smoke signals! I’ll love you forever…

I’m a photographer well versed in both event and portait photography. I have experience in all types of lighting, I shoot with a canon 70d and would love to be of assistance.
This has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember wish I could do it
Why do you need a love of comics?
Zach asks: Why do you need a love of comics? My hunch would be that a fan of comics would be passionate in pursuing great coverage; would appreciate the opportunity more than the typical writer; and might be forgiving of the eccentricities of some fans and creators.
Yeah but it’s NYCC. There is basically no comic content to cover.
