Just because one does not need any journalistic qualifications to call

I do not think that being affiliated with one of the media, being paid
for articles written , and calling himself a journalist, provides any
immunity from libel suits. Don't *newpapers get sued for libel?


In the more general case does one need to be recognized as a
"journalist" to exercise the Freedom of the Press?
