[Journalists] freelance writer

[RJ Sandefur]

I know TV news reporters have to go to school, but What about news paper 
reporters? I had a person tell me once, "RJ, You like asking a lot of 
questions, and you enjoy talking on the phone." I was under the impression 
freelance writers were independent journalists. During the Casey Anthony 
story, I kept hearing allot about media credentials. How do the court 
personal make sure John Do doesn't try to weasel his way into the media 
gallery? RJ
