Media List Press Pass

For journalists, bloggers, newsletter writers and citizen reporters. Show us five articles you've published, and we check them. If they meet our criteria you get a public verification page and a badge for your site, both at no cost. Paid passes add press pass design files you print yourself.

Media List reviews the information and links you submit and confirms whether they meet our published-work criteria as of the review date, and gives you design files that show that result. That's the whole service.

NOT AN OFFICIAL OR GOVERNMENT ID. Not a legal credential, license, accreditation or proof of employment. Grants no access, rights or privileges. Based only on information the holder submitted to Media List as of the issue date. The holder is solely responsible for their actions and for following the law. Scan the QR code for current status.

Read the full Press Pass Terms before you apply.

What we check

  1. At least 5 articles with your name as the author, published in the last 24 months.
  2. That the bylines are yours. Applying from your own work email at the outlet is the fastest way. Otherwise you add a link to your verification page on your author page, and a person checks it.
  3. That the website has been registered for 5 years or more. On Substack, Medium, beehiiv and similar platforms, we instead look for 2 or more years of your published work on that publication.
  4. That the site mainly publishes news, reviews, analysis or commentary.

We only look at what you send us and what those pages show. A person checks anything the automatic checks can't confirm, usually within 2 business days.

Paid press pass design files

After you're verified, you can buy a pass. Each one includes a card in your choice of 4 styles (front and back), a lanyard badge, a certificate, a letter of verification and a vehicle placard, all as print-ready PDF files with a QR code that shows your live status. You can make new files any time during your term.

36 months$199 One-time. Lasts 36 months and never renews.

There's no monthly plan. You pay only after you're verified, so there's nothing to refund if your application doesn't pass.

Apply

Each one should show your name as the author and a publish date in the last 24 months.
