Ads are perfectly fine. Pretty much as long as you give us the credit
line, you can do whatever you want with it (or as
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/ puts it, you are free to
share, transmit, re-use, modify, or adapt, even in a commercial
manner, as long as attribution is provided).
cheers.

Not only is it ok, its encouraged. All you have to do, is for anything
that you add which is based on something from wikinews, at the end of
the article, add a line like:
This article is based on the Wikinews article "<article title at
wikinews>" which is released under the Creative Commons Attribution
2.5 license
And have the word Wikinews linked to
http://en.wikinews.org , have
"<article title at wikinews>" linked to the specific article on
wikinews, and Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 license linked to
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/
Please also note that well the text of the article is licensed under
the cc-by 2.5, images typically are not. Before copying an image, you
should check its copyright status (click on the image in question).
Typically you can copy the images as well, but sometimes they require
different attributions.
Cheers, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
