January 25 – “Live at 5”

Learning about accreditation today.  Which turns out is a way bigger deal than you realize.

I received my official “you’re accredited” letter over the weekend, which means I’ll get a press pass and be granted access to some places.  

Not all places though, that’s for journalists from the big guys (CTV / NBC) which makes sense – they paid the most for the rights to broadcast so they should get the best access. There’s 3 levels of journalists at the Olympics and now I’m in the 2nd tier.

Here’s the BC Media Centre; I’m probably going to hang out there a LOT.  They let you have as much internet as you want.

Thanks for watching, TTYT!
