The Next Generation Press Pass for Media Professionals
Claim your unique byline and get the access and credibility you need to build your media brand and establish trust in the digital age.
Trusted by the world's leading media organizations
To get your card, you first need to create your professional byline — your unique journalistic brand. After that, we'll guide you through a simple verification process followed by an editorial quiz so you can unlock all the benefits of your Press Card.
Choose Your Unique Byline
Reserve the professional name you want to publish under. This becomes part of your public profile and card identity.
Confirm Your Identity
Upload basic ID documents so we can verify you are who you say you are. This ensures trust across the platform. Wait for your ID to be confirmed — can take a while.
Answer Editorial Questions
Tell us about your journalism role and the kind of content you produce. This helps us assign the right card type and privileges.
Select Your Press Card
Once approved, choose the design of your card. Physical and digital versions are available.
