One of the common journalist misconceptions I get is "bitcoin is a company", not really understanding the nature of open source projects. |

Here is a proof for what @jgarzik says : http://youtu.be/ixlNjhknwrE?t=3m Very good one. The disclairmer is well written. I only think we might be able to integrate this better in the website. I've pushed a branch that only shows : "Please note there is no official Bitcoin organization or spokespeople. Read more" And when journalists click on "Read more", they get the rest of the disclaimer, with a smaller font-size and a consistant text-align value. I think that this will allow journalists to notice and read the disclairmer properly. Just let me know if that sounds good and I will merge it. |

"Please note Bitcoin is an open-source project so there is neither an official Bitcoin organization nor spokespeople or anyone who can act with authority. Read more." Cleaned up the grammar. I think the click to reveal more, like the FAQs, is a great idea. |

A bit too long, it ends up on two lines. How about this one? |
|
Will this fit? Bitcoin has neither an official organization, individuals with authority nor spokespeople. Read more. The open-source project nature can be discussed in the full answer. |

That's perfect, I merged the local branch. |

A general disclaimer about the open-source nature of Bitcoin and how no particular Potential Interviewee is an 'official spokeperson', etc.
