Hello
My name is Lauren and I'm the business and technology editor at The Eyeopener, a student newspaper at Ryerson University. I found you through the Wikimedia Foundation's press room listings.
I'm writing a story about Ryerson's Wikipedia page and the ethics of Ryerson's administration editing the page themselves. I was hoping to talk to you about corporate tinkering with Wikipedia and the ethics of editing pages. Sometime on either Friday or Saturday by phone would be best for me. Please let me know you're availability.
Cheers!
I am already handling the request.

Personal title would be the way. What industry you're in professionally, or that you're a student if your studying.
Currently, Wikimedia Canada doesn't exist. There's no official spokesperson for the organization, or board of trustees, so we're technically all on the same level. By that point, if anyone speaks as Wikimedia Canada, and say something stupid, is as if it's the official opinion or statement of Wikimedia Canada itself.
(I'm a member of the Wikimedia Foundation Communications Committee, but despite the title, when I speak to the press, I speak as a random volunteer that happens to do something that most volunteers don't do, not as a rep of Wikimedia.)
If you speak to the press, speak for yourself, as Andrew has done.
Once we get Wikimedia Canada up and running, we can actively court the media with our own press releases about content agreements with museums and archives, reviews and contributions to articles and other content by local professional organizations, whatever kind of projects we have.

Actually, in a technical sense we have not been permitted to use the Wikimedia Canada name at all. Therefore, I agree with this position.

With somewhere north of 100 interviews as WMF spokescritter, and a dozen or so interviews under my own title, you people need to relax. The journalist will say what they say. Make sure you identify yourself as a volunteer (in *any* case), ask if you can see copy before it goes to press as a fact checker, but it's just a story.
And an hour later, there'll be another story.
Alright, will keep that in mind in the next interview.

And the latter would still be only as spokesman of Wikimedia Canada, not as a spokesman for the WMF.
Ideally almost all press communications would be as individuals, but it is easy to be mistaken as speaking for an organization even when you deny that you have that capacity. Unless the press can cut these corners it has difficulty composing snappy sound bites. Official spokesmen are frequently misquoted and misinterpreted.
What it often comes down to when someone falsely represents his role in Wikipedia is that there is no practical way of dealing with them.

Andrew, relating to your question on my talk page at en.wikipedia, I am on the mailing list. I would be interested in bidding.
