press pass

Journalist's access card

A press pass is a credential that identifies its holder as a member of the media, granting access to events, venues, or areas typically restricted to the public.

Journalists, photographers, and camera crews use press passes to cover news conferences, sports events, crime scenes, and political gatherings: Security checked my press pass before letting me into the stadium.
