Speaking of "accredited journalist" and Glenn Greenwald, how does Glenn Greenwald demonstrate his accreditation to the Apple Store employees? What sort of documentation would Greenwald be asked to present that demonstrates to these Apple store employees that writing for The Intercept entitles him to eligibility in this program?
As far as I can tell, "journalist accreditation" has no objective meaning and is determined on an organization-by-organization basis using subjective standards. Here is the list of criteria the UN uses: https://www.un.org/en/media/accreditation/request.shtml https://www.un.org/en/media/accreditation/request.shtml
At first glance, Greenwald would seem to qualify by that standard, provided whoever was judging him were reasonable (by my personal standards) in judging criteria such as whether The Intercept is a "recognized media organization." However I also notice that some of the criteria listed on the page seem very restrictive and could quite possibly disqualify a lot of investigative journalists (requiring six publications per year, when that investigative journalist may be working on serious stories that take more time than that...)
