Press
Welcome to the media center for Ventura Harbor/Ventura Port District. The media relations department of Ventura Harbor is here to assist members of the media with coverage on Harbor activities, businesses, boating, and news. The team offers a variety of services to print and electronic media.
Press materials, including the destination’s press kit and current news releases, are distributed regularly to media outlets and are available upon request. The Ventura Harbor offers a Media Visitation Program for media on assignment. We are also happy to assist qualified news, travel and lifestyle media featuring the destination by suggesting press itineraries, coordinating activities and providing media with a host of angles.
Ventura Harbor hosts media on assignment, both print and electronic, including TV crews that are interested in filming, and requires that you complete the attached form and forward back to our national public relations department for vetting and approval.
