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!

  1. look at you working your way up to the top, and in no time. way to go kid.

    I think your screwdriver mic is very Keri (= very cool).

  2. Your screwdriver mic is cool because it shows you’re resourceful and will make do with what you have. That is awesome!

    And your accreditation is beyond cool. Next time you’ll be with the "top" guys! (you’re already tops in our hearts!)

  3. Congrats on the accreditation for the Olympics. You may want to find a different handle for your mic… security won’t be excited about a screwdriver.

    Keep up the good work… looks like your having fun!
