Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
well, that depends on the type of events you would want a press pass for!. If you're interested in police and fire type stuff, all you need is something identifying you as a legitimate photographer and they will most always allow you right into a scene, or at least to the press area!. You can easily make your own id badge identifying you strictly as a photographer, without being misleading!.

For organized events, it usually takes something more official, like a legitimate news sponsor!.

To work for a newspaper, just e-mail editors asking if they need any stringers, and when you get exclusive photos, e-mail them to the approporiate reporter or editor to show them your skills!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
