The target I'm thinking of is PR people who are actually fans of WIkipedia (these exist and are enthusiastic) and who can see something useful to them (get their pics into Wikipedia). So the trick is how to make an image donation reasonably safe without causing so much bureaucracy we can't safely accept the donation.
If it's about fans already active in PR and so on, they probably have a website? Just make them stick a CC-BY/CC-BY-SA tag on their website with the photos or whatever. Many agencies and various entities use flickr, which we can import from. If they have to digitize stuff or whatever, things get harder.
That word "just" ... you're trivialising that doing a simple thing has actually caused problems in the past. It would not have solved the PETA or Cafe Magazine examples, for example.
