The 3 most important questions about the new press card
1. Who gets and needs a press card? Anyone working as a journalist (be it full- or part-time) is entitled to the document. A press card identifies the bearer as a representative of the press, thus making work as a journalist easier (e.g. for information purposes, attendance of press conferences or researching organisations or authorities).
2. Who is issuing the press card? The international GNS press card is issued by the international Journalist Federation GNS Press Association and can be used all over the world – in particular also in Europe or in crisis area.
3. How long is the press card valid for? The press card is valid for the specified calendar year and is issued in bank card format. If desired, a new press card for the next year will be issued before the expiration date.

GNS Press: Europe‘s leading agency for part-time journalists
To stand out from the crowd, some associations have taken up full-time employment as a journalist as criterion. But this criterion goes past the reality of organised journalism: the less common full-time work as a journalist is in the practice, the more we leech onto it. Many former full-time journalists whose editorial offices were closed for cost considerations are now working as freelancers at their own risk. Nevertheless, these journalists are often unable to provide proof of full-time work, in spite of working 12-hour days! The solution: GNS Press also welcomes part-time journalists.
