WireNews is highlighting the availability of its official PRESS T-Shirts, designed to complement its long-established International Press Card and credential programme.
For more than two decades, WireNews has provided an affordable and practical alternative to traditional union-based press accreditation. The WireNews International Press Card offers journalists, contributors and independent media professionals an accessible annual credential, with five-year and lifetime options also available. Each membership includes a professionally printed press card, plastic cardholder, black lanyard, free shipping, access to WireNews articles, and Contributor account status.
As part of the broader WireNews offering, official PRESS T-Shirts are now available for purchase through the Mayside Market online store. The shirts are designed to provide clear and professional identification for journalists operating in public spaces, events or fast-moving news environments.
The unisex shirts feature a bold, minimalist PRESS design and are available in a curated selection of darker colours to ensure strong visibility while maintaining a professional appearance.
Bill White, Publisher and CEO of WireNews Limited, said:
“Our International Press Card programme is built on practicality and accessibility. Journalists working in the field often require clear, visible identification. Making official PRESS T-Shirts available through Mayside Market provides an additional option for those who want straightforward, professional identification alongside their credentials.”
He added:
“WireNews continues to support independent journalists by offering a simple, affordable credential backed by over two decades of operation. The press card remains the core of our programme, and the availability of official apparel is simply another way to support those working on the ground.”
WireNews provides annual press credentials for £95 per year, inclusive of free shipping and membership benefits (5-yearly and lifetime options are available). Lifetime members receive a free PRESS T-Shirt. Also, letters confirming accreditation are provided electronically at no additional cost when required by venues or organisations.
Applicants for the WireNews Press Card are required to provide a head-and-shoulders photograph, full name, postal address and citizenship details during the registration process.
WireNews Limited, registered in Scotland, has operated the International Press Card programme since April 2001 and continues to support independent journalists across the UK and internationally.
The official PRESS T-Shirts are available exclusively via the Mayside Market online store.
