[Boston-editorial] art?

[Matthew Williams]

Someone has posted his artwork to our newswire:

http://boston.indymedia.org/newswire/display/34686/index.php
http://boston.indymedia.org/newswire/display/34685/index.php
http://boston.indymedia.org/newswire/display/34684/index.php

Is this something we want to leave up? I'm genuinely not sure. It 
doesn't fit the definition of news any way you cut it, but he does seem 
to intend his art to have a political message. If we want to be a 
general media resource for people, should we allow them to use our 
newswire to distribute their artwork? Is this something most people 
will just regard as cluttering the newswire and an annoyance?

I guess my take is we should hide it, but in designing the new website, 
we might want to think about ways to accomodate this sort of thing. 
People post political flyers that would probably better fit on an 
"artwire" or something better than on the newswire, so it wouldn't just 
be for something like this.
