I'll note that when I tweeted/Facebooked that post, a few people's
attention was caught by the idea of becoming an accredited Wikipedia
representative. Brian McNeil outlined how to become an accredited
Wikinews reporter, though I'm not sure what accreditation Albin was
using.

So, something like this - even a per-event accreditation - would be
very useful in gathering content and spreading the mission.
