What about covering the event, and telling *all* wikipedians about your great pictures ?
See the future... what about having a team, covering press events... picking up news ourselves instead of waiting for them to come back through regular media ?
Can you picture a wikipedian "journalist", droping by at an Earth Summit, with a camera in one hand, and a bunch of WikiReaders about Global Warming in the other hand ?
This is an interesting prospect. Still a journalist is a person who reports on something without becoming a part of the story. Our members have some strong differing opinions on global warming. If the distribution of WikiReaders were to take place that activity itself would need NPOV guidelines.
Still I like the idea of having press accreditations to various events. :-)
