I know you are being facetious, but for those in the back, there is no such thing. Everyone is protected under the First Amendment for Freedom of Press. There is no test, requirement, or certification needed to be a journalist.
Yeah. Reminder to everyone that "freedom of the press" doesn't mean the freedom of a group referred to as "the press." It means everyone has the freedom to speak and to utilize the press. The literal printing press, meaning to fix speech in a recorded format and distribute it.
That may have been the intent 250 years ago but I'm sure things are much different now
Is this a second amendment joke, or are you being serious?
Serious. I assume many things have changed since.
Gotcha. But fortunately, there's still no jurisdiction in the United States that requires a license to engage in journalism. I assume there will be one eventually, considering what happened with the 2A, but so far we're in the clear.
