Calling for action: Chamil and Johan believe authorities should consider listing journalists among the first to receive the vaccine.
KUALA LUMPUR: Several veteran journalists are calling for reporters to be categorised as frontliners, saying that these media personnel always have to be on the ground where the action is.
The action may be an event, a natural disaster, road crash or a shooting incident whereby reporting demands going to the source to get the best story.
It is no different in the matter of covering events associated with the Covid-19 pandemic, such as lockdowns, roadblocks and food distribution to those in need.
