Well, I can only answer for Sweden: http://www.reportrarutangranser.se/kontakt.html There are representatives from the radio news, television news, the largest evening paper, the best morning paper (arguably ... but not many LUGgers will take me to task on that one), the equivalent of "AP" (a newswire). Looks pretty legit. The UN has excluded them from a meeting in December about human rights because they protested to wildly against a Libyan chairman of the committee (the UN:s). In Sweden they are based at one of the major (those from Stockholm would say THE major) school of journalism. They're not just a bunch of goof-balls or international equivalent of VOA.
