Overview

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A press pass (alternatively referred to as a journalist pass or a press card) grants some type of special privilege to journalists. Some cards have recognized legal status, others merely indicate that the bearer is a practising journalist. The nature of the benefits is determined by the type of issuing agency, of which there are three major categories: news organizations, law-enforcement agencies, and event organizers (usually for a specific single affair like a corporate press conference). Each type of card grants different authorizations, thus it is often necessary or desirable for reporters to hold multiple press passes simultaneously. Police departments at a city, county, or state/provincial level may issue press passes. Such passes allow the bearer to cross police or fire lines to report breaking news, or grant access to crime scenes or other restricted areas -- though admission may be denied if it would interfere with the duties of emergency personnel.
