Good Practice Guidelines

In applying for a press card the applicant automatically accepts, and agree, to adhere to the following:

  • Card holders must at all times conduct their business in an orderly and professional manner
  • Press cards must solely be used for gathering newsworthy items
  • Press cards are not transferable to any third party
  • In the event of such an incident the card will immediately be withdrawn and the relevant parties notified of such withdrawal
  • When an employee in possession of a press card issued by the PDMSA leaves the publication, the card should be returned to PDMSA as soon as possible for cancellation. It is the responsibility of the editor to ensure that staffs relinquish their press cards.
  • If the employee moves to another publication, a new application for a press card must be submitted by that publication along with the relevant fee.
  • PDMSA reserves the right to withdraw, decline or reject the issuing or re-issuing of a press card at its discretion
  • The Association reserves the right to verify applicants contact details and employment to prevent any fraudulent applications.
