Bad idea.
Of all the wikimedians in our projects, wikijournalists need to be the most NPOV. Or, have the reputation of being the most unbiased - including unbiased toward Wikimedia and its progeny.
Once a news organization or journalist loses credibility in the public eye, it almost never returns.
We really need a "Chinese wall" ethic separating our wikijournalist expectations and our need for free publicity among our various projects.
