MANDATORY LICENSING AND UNIVERSITY DEGREE REQUIREMENTS In order to practice any journalistic activity, it is not a
requirement to have a college degree or to be a member of a journalist
association. In 1990, a legislative bill was presented before the legislature
of the Province of Buenos Aires, whereby a college degree would
be required in order to practice journalism and to belong to a journalist
association. The bill did not prosper. However, Law No. 23,300 of 1985 disposes in its Article 2:
?To reestablish the effect of Article 14 of Law 12,908, with the
improvements herein introduced and which will be written as follows: ?Article 14: The professional identification card will vouch
for the identity of the journalist with respect to obtaining, when
applicable, reduced rates granted to journalists in transportation,
in communications in the various media and, in general, for the
transmission of news. ?In addition, the businesses dependent on the State, or those
in which the State participates financially, involved in sea, land
and air transportation, will grant a 50 per cent discount off its
regular rates when the professional identification card is presented,
as appropriate. To these effects, the administrative authority,
through regulatory means, shall give instructions to the effect
that the professional identification cards belonging to any journalists
directly involved in the search for information must expressly indicate
that they are entitled to request this privilege.? 21
