A free Press Card is offered to all WorkPress members.
This internationally recognized professional card will certify and validate your Press Status and the protections (Reporter’s Privilege) provided by national legislation and international treaties. You can choose from a range of union colleges (2) based on your primary professional activity and the free services associated with them.
WorkPress offers a tele-secretarial service for newsroom members that manages and formalizes “Press Accreditation Requests,” “Reporting Permissions,” “Interview Requests,” and more.
Thousands of journalists and hundreds of affiliated media organizations utilize this online service to simplify the management and official processing of their accreditation requests.(1)
Developed by and for its users, these multilingual and decentralized services benefit from 12 years of feedback and experience.
(1) The “Accreditation Requests” portal is primarily reserved for members of media editorial teams using the service. However, freelancers or independent journalists can still benefit by requesting affiliation with the editorial team of a partner media outlet as a press correspondent. Once affiliated, this will grant them access to the “Accreditation Request” service.
Make it easier to obtain your press accreditations.
Become a Press Correspondent
Collaborating with the editorial team of a media organization (such as a Press Agency or Photo Agency) as a “freelance partner” will provide you with a range of valuable benefits.
In fact, by affiliating with an editorial team, you not only formalize your accreditation requests but also expand your journalistic activities. At the same time, you retain complete independence from the media organization.
Together, we are stronger! Stand with us in independent journalism and actively contribute to shaping the future of your profession.
We are committed to defending press freedom and journalists’ copyright. Our strength lies in unity! By becoming a member, you will also benefit from valuable services, such as Media Group accreditations, copyright protection, and legal protection support.
