Ah, the Press. Without them, we would never have such convenience in the spread of information. Part of the spread of such information is to go to locations and find important stories to cover. Back when hats were regularly fashionable, the way someone from the Press would have designated their status was to have their press pass in their hat, between the hat and the band around the hat's crown. Because of Press details needing to be shown, it was typically a white placard with the word Press printed on it. The reporter might need both hands free to take notes. This seems to be a little less common nowadays, especially with hats falling out of style in the last half-century. Still, they act as a reminder of the presence of a reporter and are more convenient than wearing a tag anywhere else. Because Real Life examples are completely pointless, please refrain from adding any examples from reality. Check out Media Scrum, Hat of Authority and Fedora of Asskicking. |

Stand Still, Stay Silent: In the panel introducing the three reporters coming to interview the crew after the first expedition, the two male reporters are wearing a hat with a white card sticking out. It helps that hats seem to have come back in fashion in urban areas in the comic's setting. | |

Roland Hedley Junior of Doonesbury began his journalist career in syndicated newspapers. He was issued a "Press" pass for his hat, where it would hide among the buckles and straps. The pass likely disappeared (hard to tell) when Hedley became a television correspondent. It's gone for good now that Hedley is reduced to blogging for sustenance. | |

In "Transtoony Space", the Toon parody of Transhuman Space, Intrepid Reporter Pumpernickel Jones wears a such a hat (and, as a walking loaf of bread, nothing else). One of his Beliefs and Goals is that having a card that says "PRESS" prevents anybody from stopping him going anywhere. | |

Back in Circulation: Timothea the reporter doesn't wear such a hat, but her photographer sidekick does, with the standard PRESS pass in the band, as they approach the train wreck.

Parodied in a few The Three Stooges skits (such as Three Little Beers). The Stooges will disguise themselves as members of the press to get access to somewhere. So what do they do? Raid the men's washroom and take some "PRESS" buttons (from some machine) and use those to get in. But Curly, being the nincompoop, would wear a "PULL" button instead and break their ruse. | |
