Of the total, 2,300 are domestic newsmen and some 700 others are foreign ones, according to data at the secretariat of the Indonesia SEA Games Organizing Committee (Inasoc) on Tuesday.
Up to Monday night, the Accreditation Section of the Inasoc continued to input data on the media which had obtained accreditation for the SEA Games event coverage.
The journalists came from print and electronic as well as online media. The number of reporters to cover the event is the biggest one in the SEA Games history.
Request for accreditation from the media still continue to flow even though the committee has closed the registration since last September 26.(*)
