@heygabe in a first amendment kind of way. and in a RNC Press floor passes require vetting by the state kind of way.
-
@exador23 Aha! The 1st Amendment only applies to Journalists then?
-
@heygabe No. I understand the citizen vs journalist fuzziness. My understanding is credentials are a form of state sanctioning some Cs as Js
-
@exador23 Does the state issue the credientials? To my knoweldge, Domestic Journalists do not register with the state in this country.
-
@heygabe Do you really think Journalists get less access than "standard citizens"? <_< hmm >_> standard citizens... hmmm
-
@heygabe I really don't know. I'm curious. On the surface it appears as though there's some process - at least NewsCo's sanctioned like AP?
-
@exador23 There are no state credentials for journalists. Your credentials come from your press org. There's no official journo status.
-
@t3knomanser thanks.
-
@t3knomanser How can we trust our journalists if the government doesn't pick them out??? :o
-
@exador23 you can't point a camera in the vicinity of a police in the UK without getting a hard time. terrorism they say....
-
@timstimes I guess I'm in the wrong for not wanting the same thing here in the states.
