It may be a case of house trespass, if the said press/media persons committed the trespass with the intent to commit an offence or to intimidate, insult or annoy you. Such intention is to be inferred from the facts and attending circumstances of the case. This is section 448 of the Indian Penal Code.

Trespass as such being a tort, you can file a civil suit for compensation, if you have sustained substantial loss for such trespass.
