Press Credential

MELEK Press Pass

Credentials the bearer as a contributor to MELEK Press, our publishing arm, so they can report and publish as part of MELEK.

Issued by

MELEK Press — First Amendment freedom of the press; credentials issued by the news organization

How you earn it

Agree to the MELEK Press contributor standards and publish at least one piece under the MELEK masthead.

A press credential issued by a news organization under the First Amendment. It identifies you as MELEK press; whether a given venue grants access on it is that venue’s decision.

The credential you receive

A verifiable Open Badge 3.0 with a unique id (e.g. MELEK-PRESS-…) and a SHA-256 verification hash over its fields. Anyone can confirm it on the Verify page; it is built to anchor on the MELEK/PRANA chain for a permanent public record.

Issuance is gated to the issuing authority (the Temple / MELEK Press / MELEK Academy) — you cannot self-mint a credential here. Enroll through the course or ministry track, and the credential is issued to you on completion.
