I've just been pointed to a nice case of reuse of Wikinews content.

They credit us, and they give a link to our full story.
I have emailed them a thank you note, and taken the opportunity to highlight that our fundraiser is running. What I don't know in terms of information to pass onto them is a press contact address, but the key thing for a TV station is can we let them reuse Jimmy's fundraising video? If we can get that on TV - even if only in Texas - then we'll do a lot better.

press@wikimedia.org is the universal, I think.

I can't see any reason not to allow it to be redistributed...

It's more or less meant as a press release, but please check with Sandy.
Sandy, can you clarify please?

only the second link works - http://www.newschannel5.tv/Category/Education/Detail?articleId=1146983841&am... somehow theyve all messed up brian. maybe its cos your arthritis but that's not the point
its good to hear someone using our content and actually crediting us properly. re the video - it's available for download on the site ( http://wikimediafoundation.org/donate/2007/psa/) so i would think it was under a similar license so i would say yes to sharing.
