Has anybody considered a spinoff project dedicated to being a "wiki newspaper"?
You can always try it as an experimenting. Wikipedia however on the first place must be a encyclopaedia and should not try to play CNN. I I see more usefulness in the establishment of a special wiki for collecting GNU/FDL photographs. This project can support the encyclopedia with photographs. http://foto.wikipedia.org ? If there is few support it can start at the MetaWikipedia.
I am in favour of other kind of "NewsPedia" - the news about all Wikipedias, with language versions with _all_ major languages of Wikipedias. Something along the lines of the deceased Wikipedia:Wikipedia NEWS. I think that it is essential to foster cooperation and unification between Wikipedias as well as to open, at last, a proper avenue for information exchange between Wikipedias. We want to have one unified project, don't we ?
