I am a young journalist/historian from Rome and I am in the process of applying for my journalists' lisence here in Italy. This requires me to have published a certain number of articles in accredited media outlets in order to earn my lisence. Can a contribution to either Wikipedia or Wkinews count as such? If so, this outlet would be very useful for me as I develop as a journalist. I have much to contribute on the subject of The Middle East and other historical discourse. I can also translate texts from Italian to English and vice-versa.
Thank you for your response-- any information you can provide regarding my inquiry would be greatly appreciated!

That would not depend on us but on whoever in Italy is counting these up. I suggest you, with your position in Italy (where most US newspapers have minimal reporters on scene) contact major US papers regarding requirements and submit freelance articles to them.
However, we welcome your contributions and if contributing helps you in this way, great.

Neither Wikipedia nor Wikinews are accredited at anything.
