The elephant in the room in all this is that Wikinews lacks the critical mass of editors to overcome these issues.

Producing a functional daily news outlet (website) requires a substantial full time staff... of course so does an encyclopaedia, but an encyclopaedia doesn't have a weekly time limit on story completion... so we can adopt a more leisurely model.
Actually, wikipedia did have a paid full-time editor at bootup. Perhaps wikinews needs something similar, and never really booted properly, due to lack of it?
