Work requires a work permit, it is that simple. There is a visa category and extension of stay category especialy for mebers of the media. But I can't tell you much about that one.

Media visa and it IS possible to gain an associated WP from it without a local employer IIRC. I seem to remember a female poster on here who went through a long struggle and got one.

The visa forum is the place to ask this, but I suspect it wont be simple.
