`  :To clarify, the ``In the News`` section on Wikipedia's main page is intended to showcase Wikipedia articles that have been updated due to recent developments. It is not intended to be a news feature. (It's the encyclopedia articles that are featured, not the news itself.) No news is put into ``In the News`` without a corresponding article being updated because of it. (See WP:ITNMP for details.) Renaming ``In the News`` to something else to alleviate confusion is a perennial proposal, but nothing has ever come of it.      : Wikinews is not part of Wikipedia, but an independent project of the Wikimedia Foundation. They use the same software, though.  There are some overlap, but they are run by different volunteers.     ::Also, Wikipedia is GFDL licensed, while Wikinews is some other not-so-free licence (can't remember which).  Putting not-so-freely licensed stuff on a page to which the fait use rationale does not apply would be a violation of copyright law - although the main reasons have been stated above...... ..    :::Wikinews is Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 Generic, so it is still 'free' by Wikipedia standards.   `
