Also the definition of journalist is very dodgy these days.
Craig Murray has been applying to the NUJ (National Union of Journalists) to become a "registered" journalist. They're sitting on his application, clearly because allowing him into the club will upset powerful people. [0]
The Assange trial has seen a definition of journalist that only includes employees of large media corporations. This is clearly wrong.
If we're going to extend special protection to journalists, we need a definition of "journalist" that doesn't mean "someone who will not need those protections because they're not going to do things that will upset the establishment".
