take Michael Nicholson for example:

http://www.pfd.co.uk/scripts/get.py/books/?authors%20NICHOLSM

one of the more respected ITN Foreign/war correspondents in the UK

"He holds the Falklands and Gulf Campaign medals" for being a war
correspondent in both campaigns.

It is, I think, common practice in the UK (and probably Australia and
possibly Canada). If you cover the campaign as an journalist accredited to
the military, you get the campaign medal.
