They should not need to know that it is a mailinglist. Just allow
non-subscriber mails to the mailinglist address.

I am happy to (help) organize Cryptoparties For Journalists.

Yes, there should be more courses for journalists. I believe this could
well be professional, ie. expenses paid etc. We from Zwiebelfreunde are
willing to provide "the legal framework" around this.

This will *not* address or solve the current interest of media as
"passive observer" of public events, which is what I believe most
journalists are interested in -- reporting, not learning themselves.
