Getting press attention is easy. The question is whether the attention
is beneficial in the long term or not.

Dealling with the press can be very difficult and even if you get
the message across to the journalist you can always have a sub
editor introduce an idiotic headline.

The key point is that authentication alone is not enough, you need
to go further. But authentication gives you the tools that allow
you to go further.
