In 2007 I will be traveling around the world, staying on organic farms while doing work in exchange for room/board (www.wwoof.org) and also "couchsurfing" (www.couchsurfing.com). The point is to write a book about how other cultures have tackled the issue of sustainbility. Can I secure journalism credentials that will help grease the wheels in foreign countries? Will they give me some kind of immunity in some places? And do you think this is a good method of protection in case of accident, injury, abduction or detainment? I'm just trying to cover my butt so I don't end up as a news story.

Prove your reliability and competence to a recognized news outlet by submitting good work that gets published or broadcast. They won't hand out credentials to just anybody.
Generally, these credentials will give you no protection whatsoever in any country.
For protection, register with your embassy when you're in a foreign country.

Talk to local newspaper.
