I should be clear: Reporters Without Borders does not credential journalists, because we are not a media organization. We're just an NGO, but we do work a lot with freelance reporters, who don't necessarily have official accreditation from a media organization. We can connect them.
Oftentimes, if you're going in as a freelance journalist, you might not have that helmet that says “press” on it. You might not have that vest that says “press” on it. That can often be the difference between a soldier on the ground stopping you or not stopping you, shooting at you or not shooting at you. These things make a big difference.
