Licenses for Journalists

At first glance, the idea of licenses for journalists that can be revoked for irresponsible reporting sounds like a good idea. However, I just feel that it would not work and that the system that we have in place already works well enough. If you develop a system of licenses, then obviously there has to be a committee that decides who's license gets revoked and for what. By doing that you are censoring journalists and that simply cannot happen. For example, if I write a story about the government that may be critical of the current administration and the committee deems it as "irresponsible" and revokes my license, then they are censoring my message, even if it is correct or good for the general public to hear. Most of today's journalism companies systems for handling an irresponsible reporter are that if you are acting irresponsibly in your reporting, then you are just fired. I think that is the better way to handle things, just so that journalists messages are not censored by some sort of licensing committee that could threaten the true integrity of journalism and free speech.
