> No PJ.

I'd like to think that any serious, professional photographer who
documents events with honesty and integrity, whether freelance,
hired or staff would or could earn the moniker of photojournalist
- - journaling the visual reality. Shouldn't the product have more
to do with the title than the entity writing the check?

In the case in point which began this thread:
If, hypothetically, another freelance "photojournalist" had
caught wind of the demonstration and documented the event on his
or her own dime, with the hope of later sales, or simply because
they thought it important to journal, and was also arrested and
charged - how speaks this illustrious jury?
