Blue body armour is the standard for the UN, that is to say a non combatant. Then people started shooting at the UN so some journalists started adding “TV” in white tape. Then they realised that wasn’t pretty enough for TV so they got PRESS badges. The PRESS badge is to identify up close, the blue is an attempt to identify as a non combatant
