The staff from Equestria Daily are likely considered journalists or the press. Even so, they still have to register for admission like every single other attendee. Their presence is a privilege, not a right. Because the event itself is private, Hasbro retains the power to decide what pieces of information make it to the public eye. Why the press is able to view certain products but not report on them is simply a matter of the press browsing the items as attendees physically present rather than as journalists intending to broadcasthare their findings witoh a public audience.
