With the agreement of the Board, I have enabled local uploads on the English edition of Wikinews.
I ask other language editions that are interested in fair use to formulate a similar whitelist policy for cases in which fair use should be allowed. The emphasis is on *whitelist* - any case not covered by the policy should be quickly deleted.
Once a policy is developed, please report it on foundation-l or wikinews-l to move forward with enabling local uploads. A brief summary of your policy in English would be very helpful.
For reference, the English fair use policy is at: http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Fair_use
As before, the Wikimedia Commons should be used for any free content media.
All best,
Erik
