The restrictions prevent AP from providing coverage of the ceremony “to its standards,” according to an advisory it sent to members. Organizers had initially sought AP photo coverage from inside the ceremony, but said that due to coronavirus precautions it could not accommodate a wire service photographer. The AP said it would cover the show if it could take screenshots of the broadcast, as it has done successfully for the Emmy Awards, BET Awards, MTV Video Music Awards and others. The AP insists that if it covers the event, it be done so without restrictions on images that are publicly broadcast.
