Everyone is the media nowadays. That's why press pay people for their stories and videos, etc.
A press pass (alternatively referred to as a press card or a journalist pass) grants some type of special privilege to journalists. Some cards have recognized legal status; others merely indicate that the bearer is a practicing journalist.
But anyone can write "PRESS" on a dirty shirt, carry a camera and ask questions?
well, to be fair, it is in the first amendment. anyone can in fact be a member of the press. their is no such thing as a "legal press pass" issuing agency. official press passes are given by companies/corporations to identify themselves as employees of said agency. also, private/government functions/agencies may issue press passes to people for entry to property/events, nothing more.
