Obtaining credentials and working space

Credentials

The N.C. Capitol Press Corps issues two kinds of credentials to working reporters and photographers: Permanent and temporary. The credentials are used to gain access to the press galleries in the House and Senate chambers and have no other purpose.

Permanent credentials are issued by the Press Corps to reporters and photographers who are stationed in Raleigh and cover the N.C. General Assembly as their primary beat. To inquire about permanent credentials, please call (919) 781-5370 or e-mail Joe Johnson.

Temporary credentials are issued to visiting reporters and photographers who require access to the press galleries. Temporary credentials are good only on the day issued. To arrange temporary credentials, please call (919) 781-5370 or e-mail Joe Johnson.

 

Working space

A limited number of desks in the Pressroom (Room 1427 of the Legislative Building) are available to visiting press. Desk space is issued on a first-come, first-served basis. To inquire about available pressroom desk space, please call (919) 781-5370 or e-mail Joe Johnson.
