Yeah... I think the press pass should be limited to people who:

1. Have covered such events in the past.

2. Have a measurable audience somehow... be it web, print, TV, radio, etc.

3. Haven't caused problems at previous events.

1. So, in order to cover such an event, you must have a Press Pass, and in order to get a Press Pass, you must have covered such an event.

2. In order to have an audience, you must get the news. In order to get the news, you've got to have an audience.

3. In order to get a Press Pass, you have to have covered such an event without one. Which pretty much means going past police barricades or some similar illegal activity. So, pretty much be definition, you'll have misbehaved at a previous event.

In summary, your requirements reduce to:

1. No-one will be issued Press Passes.
