when did the police become the government?

so you want to be a reporter? The main guy broke reporter rule #1 in the first second, the wireless microphone is lazily clipped on the outside of the shirt. Future citizen journalists never do that!!! It's tacky, hide the mic cord please, makes the person talking look more credible and enhances the video production quality. Thanks! Hope I don't sounds harsh just offering advice as a veteran tv news reporter/anchor

TOO BAD THE government DOES NOT ABIDE BY THESE RULES!!!!

They watch and listen to what you do in your HOUSE, Work, Car, Ect.

ONLY Citizens to abide by these!

Journalism is the production of news reports and editorials through media such as newspapers, magazines, radio, television and the Internet.CENSORSHIP, governmental restriction or even active repression of individual journalists and non-state organs of communication continue to cause, at best, intermittent trouble in most countries.

um. wow. A lot of this is overly careful. You certainly don't need "someone to vouch for you" to cover a public meeting. And it's absurd to say it's ALWAYS better to leave a place and come back later instead of getting arrested. There are times when they're hiding something and getting arrested is the best way to bring that fact to light. Also-- and this is an egregious omission -- there's nothing in here on the "shopping mall rule."
