As a UK media contact for Wikimedia, so I get all sorts of stuff in my email. One I just got was for a demonstration/picket to be held in London soon, from the group protesting. Let's assume I'm unable to make it to cover it myself ... is there anywhere to put these things for those who may be interested in going out with a notepad and camera?
I would make a page on Wikinews with subpages for each region, people can then watch the regions they can get to (what size each region is is negotiable) and when it appears on their watchlist, off they go. It would be an excellent way of getting good articles.
I have created a rough draft of such a system: http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Upcoming_events
