A working roster of the journalists and outlets covering the May 28–31 festival in Austin. We track who’s in the room, link their published coverage from our own pages, and credit named bylines wherever quoted. The page exists for two reasons: as a credibility signal for the festival press office, and as a reading list for anyone trying to follow the festival without being there.
The outlets that have published multiple pieces on ATX 2026 already — lineup announcements, reunion reveals, programming previews. We quote from named bylines and link the original article on every piece we publish.
Outlets that produce long-form, regional, or subject-specialist coverage of ATX. Many sit at the intersection of festival programming and our existing show-review beat.
Smaller publications, festival-specialist blogs, fan press, and emerging voices. Often the place to find the on-the-floor texture that the trades skip.
A site that quotes other people’s work has an obligation to be explicit about how, when, and why. The policy below covers what runs on every review and report we publish about ATX-eligible titles.
From May 28–31 we’re building a roll of who’s in the room and what they’re filing. If you’re a journalist or critic covering ATX 2026 and you’d like to be added to this roster (or removed), reach editorial@tvawardshow.com directly.
The pre-staked attendee-report pages will, once filled in, link to peer coverage of the same panels — so a reader can compare what we recorded against what Variety, Deadline, the Chronicle, or anyone else recorded from the same room.
