Electronic
Card for Journalists
New Delhi, May 07, 2008
PIB will be issuing new electronic press accreditation card
to journalists from now onwards. This card will replace the
older PIB Press Card and shall have a validity of two years
(till December, 2009). The step will go a long way in avoiding
the annual exercise of renewal for all nationally accredited
journalists. Pr. DG (M&C) Smt. Deepak Sandhu delivered the
first batch of such cards to mediapersons last evening.
The electronic card has security features like electronic
signature of PIB and Home Ministry officials and is tamper
proof. The card will be colour coded in four categories –
yellow for correspondents, pink for cameramen, white for
technicians and blue for editors.
PIB is the nodal agency at the national level, which gives
accreditation to Indian and foreign mediapersons. Over 2000
press persons in different categories will benefit from this
new service.
