Liaising with the press is certainly something WM UK could do.
Actually, it is something that we *already* do, and have done successfully for a long time. sfaiaa both David and I get daily calls and emails from the press and respond in a timely manner to them and continue to do so.
(We also get an absolute ton of spam which, once a newer WMUK is actually running I will be *very* happy to direct to someone else!)
A 'WMUK' currently exists, but the people who have done the work over the past 2½+ years (and who actively welcomed questions and comment rather than saying <quote>"You have no right to demand anything of the volunteers doing the hard graft in getting this set up. We accept and welcome the involvement of anyone that is interested, but it is your responsibility to get involved."</quote>) have realised that a new team without the history closely associated with their efforts is now required.
