Where is the media coverage?

Please don't think I blame the media entirely, because I have yet to see a really fetching press release on any of the women's NGO websites I've been scouring for background information on the CSW. Why? The UN press office can't be expected to do anything but photocopy bland statements like the one issued by secretary-general Ban Ki-moon for International Women's Day. The best excuse I've heard so far is from an Indymedia photojournalist who left a comment in the blog saying she couldn't get press credentials because she is a transgender woman, who doesn't have an ID that documents her gender.
