My guess would be the Secretary General of the UN, a hitherto unknown philologist, a hacker from Prague, the Royal Society (founded 1660...science) and a cut throat no ethics journalist if they don't get themselves killed by one of the 40 some odd secret services in the process. Mmmmm. Point. The Pope has the best intelligence service on the planet... So probably also the Pope.
US & China & will refuse to play ball on an international basis, and insist on special privileges. Micronesia & Paraguay will follow suit, along with some Serb and middle eastern contingencies.
Several of the Multinationals will also elbow in, possibly more effectively than Territorial Nations.
Housing prices will drop.
Celebrities will start performing even more elaborate stunts to get and hold the media's attention.
2 or 3 smallish wars will break out (due to political manuvering). Text book publishers will convince at least half the schools around to buy outdated textbooks for the next 10 years. On contact.
Separatists around the world will secede, and also demand voices at the table.
The new commission devised by the UN that encompasses the greatest scientific minds, spanning every nation will largely be ignored and underfunded... Though it held great initial potential.
Of course... That's always assuming that reporter didn't get himself offed in the get go... And we've had other species like ours around since the early 80's. Based out of Luxembourg, or Mongolia, or one of the 3 other places in the world we never have news out of.
