The top-level comment is proposing using journalism as a defense against prosecution, not trying to secure press passes to go into the farms and film. A press pass is not a license.
Of the court cases I remember, most used a number of factors to determine whether or not the defendant qualified as a journalist.
- gambiting 14y agoIt's more a question of whatever journalist-protecting laws should apply to you in a certain situation, not whatever you are a journalist or not. Conducting successful surgery does not make you a doctor, a proper licence does.
- mnutt 14y agoI agree with both sentences, but don't see the connection between the two. Are you arguing for how the law currently works, or how you would like it to work? Currently, there is no such thing as a journalism license in the US.
