There are 48 of them according to DIPR as on 18.11.2005 and 51 per PIB Aizawl as on 8.11.2005. Among them are 4 women.
Names familiar to me: Robert Lalchhuana (Romei, former President of MJA) D.R. Zirliana (Mizo Aw), K.Sapdanga (Vanglaini, President of MJA), Sangzela Tlau (Zozam), J.Lalthangliana (Mizo Arsi), C.Dinthanga (Lelte), David M. Thangliana (Newslink) and Antony Chhuanvawra (Skylinks).

Anybody, what’s accredited journalist? I googled briefly and didn’t find a clear cut definition. The first link is PIB Aizawl website containing city-wise list of accredited journalists from Mizoram, gives me a feeling the term isn’t used much else where.

I think what Mizoram needs now is not so much accredited journos as qualified, full-fledged ones. Don’t they have their own version of the Hippocratic Rule or sth?

Do you remember the American ’embedded journalists’ in Iraq War? They were embedded with the US troops and in such a situation it was virtually impossible to report the news as it was but only as the US military wanted it. They were fed and protected by the government so was the absence of independent reports on the military action.
The Mizoram government came up with its own term to include journalists in its payroll (may not be a monthly pay, but other benefits including access to some special info., travels, etc). I don’t remember national papers like The Times of India demanding accredition of its journalists from the Central government.
More response to this post please…(not to my response!)

hehe nice pic. Seriously, DMT hi izawl.com leh zoram.com hot lai te kha chuan, tleirawl broad-minded view nei deuh tur ang hian ka lo ngai char char thin, a tawngkam hmang dan velah khan
I agree with Rinliana. By terming them as “accredited journalist”, it sounds as if the journalists were given an official approval by the Govt to “practice their trade”, which in a way, sounds a bit of an oxymoron, and contrary to the absolute meaning of being a journalist taking into account the whole freedom of speech and Govt-watch thingie.
Perhaps… just a perhaps… maybe it is just a minor solecism and that they actually meant to say “higly credible journalists” or “journalists with admirable credits” instead of “accredited journalists” … just my opinion

Like I said earlier, I wish we had more fully qualified journalists who are knowledgeable about media ethics, to name just one thing….
