  • A business card with your editorial title from an established publication including its Web site address (or an equivalent email autosignature).
  • Two copies of bylined articles printed from the publication or online news outlet for which you are employed or contracted. Web site or a URL where the bylined articles can be viewed is also acceptable. Articles must be published within the past six months from the same organization.
  • A current editorial masthead that includes your name.
  • An identification card with your title at your broadcast station.
  • An original letter of assignment or a copy of your contract from a publisher or news organization with an editorial contact.
