Some reporters may want to go through the regular channels, but I would suspect the most sucessfull ones with less time may like the idea of the special treatment. After all some times they are concerned on looking at the environment and not how to set it up. On any case it would cost nothing to setup and a few positive feedbacks in some computer magazines can only help. It will also be a great excuse to write to editors/writers and let them know about this service for them.
