A wonderful precedent for other approaches to press agencies--it will perhaps work best for those agencies that have an appropriate special concern for the area or subject.

Relevant to Egypt and WMF, it is important that Al-Jazeera has released a pile of photos and video as CC by-nd and CC-by-nc-nd:
Already have contacted them and they are willing to give us permission.
:-D :-D :-D
This is BIG NEWS. A hearty HIP HIP HOORAY to everyone involved in this!
Now we need permission from a *second* network ...
They have posted one video now, and working on putting more up.
http://cc.aljazeera.net/asset/language/arabic/footage-egyptian-protests-al-j...
It's CC-BY licensed.
I'm pretty technical, but if someone better with video wants to help convert it to ogg theora format and get it uploaded to Commons, that would be awesome.
