embargo or "media blackout"
are very bad.
I do not know who create this mechanism and why journalists'ld follow this rule.
I know "embargo" exists as i fall upon one time or two (i am not a professional journalist) and very surprised each time.
Franckly, i don't understand how "freedom of press" and embargo could exist both.
For exemple, in France, when there's a vote, no one should know the results before the end of the ballote, but journalists (and politics, friends and famillies) know, why ?, because "embargo"? (not good english i am sorry)
For me, Wikinews 'ld find his/her way outside this strange way to do press and news : embargo or "media blackout"
we already have "Flags", it's enought
