A new Harvard study says one in five journalists reports having been denied a press pass, and freelancers were among the primary victims. Jonathan Peters writes about what it means: "When a credential that should be granted is denied, the public’s access to information may be harmed. A journalist is unable to ask a key question at a news conference … and our understanding of the world around us, and the role we can play in it, may suffer."
