I wonder if there's any countries that specifically recognise people as journalists?
Like how police officers have a warrant and specific powers and accountability, could legitimate journalists be recognised, empowered and held accountable like that? Then it could also be an offence to impersonate them.
Otherwise yeah a journalist is just some random person claiming to be a journalist and I'm not sure what could be done about that?
