Hang on, they could be acceptable somewhere else in the domain though couldn't they, with a link/promotion with Wikinews?
I think that a lot of people looking to WN for news writing experience might also appreciate PR experience and there are probably also people happy to be involved in promoting Wikimedia as a contribution to the project?
I don't see at all why it shouldn't be a linked project to Wikinews, as long as it is clearly shown as a press room rather than part of the news output. Particularly when it comes to, say, translating press releases I think it could be a good cross-Wikinews project?

Wikinews as Wikimedia (and all others projects) press room is an idea i shared with one member of the wikimédia french chapter in december.
He seemed interressed so i am asking to you if it's something to think about or no ?
any comment about that ?
Well... To make it short, no. Just no, this is a pretty stupid idea, which would break NPOV. We're already putting a template where there's a report on one of the Wikimedia projects, and press releases on Wikinews aren't acceptable.
