The other thing that I haven't seen mentioned is that they're all released under a Creative Commons license (share-alike, noncommercial). Traditionally journalism is considered noncommercial, so that perhaps means that any magazine or newspaper can use these photos. Hopefully they won't, as the photos are akin to press releases, but I bet that's not enough to stop a lot of publications with shrinking budgets. These photos are pretty bad.
