National Press Photographers Association

Access Credentials and Media Policies

The committee is currently working on collecting policies and providing examples of acceptable policies. If you have a media policy, a credentialing contract, or a pool agreement that you are able to share with the committee, please forward it to advocacy@nppa.org.

How Do I Get Press Credentials?
NPPA's general counsel, Mickey H. Osterreicher, and Advocacy Committee member Alicia Wagner Calzada answer common questions about how to get press credentials, police department policies on press access and credentials, and event credential agreements. This resource is a new service prepared by NPPA's Advocacy Committee not just for NPPA members, but for all photographers as part of NPPA's efforts to help photographers with professional business development practices.
