MEMBER BENEFIT: As a gatekeeper, we are able to issue press cards to our members.

THE UK PRESS CARD AUTHORITY Ltd (UKPCA) manages a voluntary scheme for issuing press/media credentials – the UK Press Card – to professional newsgatherers working in the UK. It is wholly owned and collectively controlled by the UK’s major media organisations, industry associations, trades unions, and professional associations.

The scheme is managed through 19 gatekeepers. These are national organisations which represent or employ journalists and other media personnel (employed or freelance) whose work involves gathering material for editorial publication in all media — print, broadcast and electronic. Each gatekeeper issues the UK Press Card to its members, or to those whom it or its members employ. The gatekeeper is responsible to the UKPCA Board for ensuring that the conditions of the scheme are adhered to.

The UK Press Card is produced by a single card contractor who holds a database of all holders. The card itself is produced to the highest modern standards, and its features are described on a poster which can be downloaded from this website. Cards have both security and verification features, and every card has to be renewed at least every two years.

If you are an EVCOM Member who is eligible for and would like to purchase a press card, please get in touch at info@evcom.org.uk.

MEMBER BENEFIT: If you are looking to expand your team, then please do get in touch. Our fees are usually between 18% and 22% depending on the level and complexity of the search; however, for EVCOM members, we offer a flat fee of 15% across all roles.
