I can use the CK Editor Media widget to place images into the body of an Article, but there doesn't seem to be any support in the Media Browser to edit caption or attribution data.

The Credit and Caption fields are visible at /admin/content/file/thumbnails but don't show at any point during the WYSIWYG-based selection process. The latter process lets me choose Library or View Library and displays a grid of thumbnails. I can select a thumbnail and go to a second dialog where an image style is selected, and then the image is embedded in the text area, but at no time do additional fields show up.

Also, where can I add/edit the fields that are associated with media files? I can't find anywhere in the UI.

It is currently not possible to edit this information directly from the media browser in your wysiwyg editor. This is an issue with how the media module works right now. A lot of people have noted it, and the issue that resembles it most closely is probably this one: #1213252: Allow media file's fields to be edited in a modal or after upload in the media widget

If you want to edit the fields for different media types you need to make sure you have the field ui module enabled. You should be able manage media fields under admin/config/media/file-types when that module is enabled.

A workaround is to edit the file entity (admin/content/file). There you can change the caption and contributor for a file. Check if the file style you are using is outputting the caption and contributor field under admin/config/media/file-types/manage/image/display

Thanks @fabsor, I didn't have Field UI enabled so now I have more control over things. Perhaps this could be added to some docs: modules to enable to work with Nodestream that Nodestream doesn't specifically enable via Features/Default Config...

Thanks @pontus_nilsson. I had figured out that work-around, but not why admin/config/media/file-types/manage/image/display was access denied (until Field UI enabled).

But, now that I have adjusted the Large image style ('media_large') to show Caption and Credit the data still doesn't appear in the Article display. There is no markup other than the image data. This is using the Precision 7.x-2.0-alpha2 theme.
