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

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 
test thiam vel sin
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!)
