Press accreditations

We process press credentials for political events, institutional press conferences, sports events and cultural occasions — including those that require prior relationship with the issuing press office.

Comprehensive written briefing packs delivered before your trip: contextual analysis, timeline of events, key figures and their positions, relevant legislation and news archive summaries — all in English.

We transcribe and translate recorded interviews from Catalan and Spanish into English — with full context notes so you understand nuance, cultural references and what was left unsaid.

Why print journalists trust us

We understand print deadlines

Deadline-aware research

We do not deliver research packs the night before publication. We work to your schedule from day one — with drafts, updates and a final briefing timed to your editorial calendar.

Journalist-grade background docs

Written by journalists, not PR agencies. Our briefing documents are factual, analytical and written in a register that a reporter can use directly as background for a feature or investigation.

Interview note-taking & transcription

We join interviews, take detailed notes, manage voice recorders and deliver accurate transcriptions in English — including translation of Catalan and Spanish responses.
