Can’t anyone just say he is? I would suspect that at least some rioters have decided they are immune to arrest if they just use a badge saying “journalist”. How many fake credentials are out there? On top of that, I’m sure the authorities feel even the legit press is firing up the crowds. So they’re ****ed. |

I doubt that a CNN producer, who was part of that group, would have difficulty proving his legitimacy as a journalist. -- best regards, Neil |

I’m not taking sides here, I’m just saying that the police do not have to treat as a journalist someone representing himself as a journalist, if he is not really a journalist.

The people running events or the police supposedly issue credentials, but how do you issue credentials for a riot? Things aren’t always black and white. This really is something I have always wondered about. Why can’t I just carry an expensive camera, claim I’m a journalist, and get access I wouldn’t normally get to places? And there is a website - one of the first search hits - that just issues “press cards”. Pay some money, and you’re in. They look official. |
