From today's Studio Briefing :
U.S. Orders Foreign Reporters To Leave Country To Renew Visas
Saying that it is complying with new homeland security regulations, the State Department has informed the estimated 20,000 foreign journalists stationed in the U.S. that they will have to leave the country and renew their visas at a U.S. embassy or consulate abroad. Reporting on the order, Britain's Guardian newspaper commented today (Thursday) that it was likely "to cause chaos for overseas broadcasters and newspapers just five months before the presidential election." Previously foreign journalists were able to apply for visa renewals in Washington or New York. The American Society for Professional Journalists has warned that the edict could result in similar action being taken against American reporters stationed abroad.
