Freelance journalists, including photographers, must provide clear evidence they are on assignment from a specific news organization or publication. A valid assignment letter from that news organization, or publication, is required. Photographic agencies must provide clear evidence from a client news organization or publication.

Requests for accreditation can be denied if applicants cannot establish they are professional journalists, or if the applications are incomplete.
