Important to note: I have seen not one example of a non-press person claiming to be press and I've been watching all the livestreams constantly.

- colechristensen 6y agoJust a piece of data, a cameraman attacked by someone posing as a medic: https://twitter.com/Lucas_Jackson_/status/1267083968513486848 https://twitter.com/Lucas_Jackson_/status/126708396851348684... Any news reports of people posing as reporters might be suppressed by newsrooms themselves as to not encourage copycats or get the idea out there that reporters might not be reporters, that is entirely unsubstantiated conjecture though.
- some-are-better 6y agoSee here for at least one example (funny that cops even noted to the man that he didn't display the press cred as the others standing right next to him) https://twitter.com/shane_bauer/status/1267669541452017673 https://twitter.com/shane_bauer/status/1267669541452017673
- handoflixue 6y agoIn at least some states, "internet blogger" qualifies you as a journalist. So, y'know, if you've got a twitter account and you're talking about the protest, congrats: you're press!
