possibly, but community must also know how to join the press team or 
where things should be handled. So a press page on meta can make sense, 
WITH a huge mention on top telling journalists where to go.

This said, one of the pages I most often indicated to journalists on 
meta, is the logo page, where they can download the high resolution logos.
