The Knowledge Center was created as an open, educational space for everyone seeking to understand modern standards in journalistic and photojournalistic work. It brings together key topics related to press ID cards, accreditation processes, the responsible use of reporting tools, and the essential principles of preparing for work in the field.
The materials published here serve as an introduction to subjects explored more extensively in our Online Academy — a starting point for those who want to build an ethical, professional, and trustworthy reporting practice. You will find knowledge valuable for beginners, content creators working in a reporting role, as well as experienced photojournalists navigating the realities of today’s media landscape.
The goal of the Knowledge Center is to support the development of responsible, conscious, and professionally executed work within public and media environments.
On this page, we have gathered a collection of expert analyses, practical guides, and commentary that explain how the modern journalistic system works and what competencies are required to operate within it responsibly. Readers will learn the principles of using a press ID card, the requirements involved in media accreditation procedures, and the difference between a document that confirms identity and one that grants access rights. We explain how to prepare for field reporting, what ethical standards guide photojournalism, how to make decisions in dynamic situations, and how to protect the integrity of visual storytelling. This section also covers newsroom practices, collaboration structures within editorial teams, communication standards with institutions and event organizers, and the role of press documentation in building professional credibility.
This space is particularly valuable for freelancers and independent creators who want to work responsibly and in accordance with international standards — not only capturing images but understanding context, ethics, narrative, and the wider consequences of their work. The Knowledge Center serves as a bridge between theory and practice, offering pathways to more advanced materials, exercises, and scenarios available in the Online Academy. The Academy is currently conducted in English.
