Certainly a good idea, and obviously appreciated by journalists (according to 
the comments section anyway). 

I'm a bit reluctant, however, since it would be a major investment of time 
which we're already lacking. Then, I'm not sure how to sort out the editorial 
bits, what is suitable material, what not ... that can certainly be 
discussed.

Right now, with respect to press work, our press channel [P] has higher 
priority for me. I can ask around if there are people who are willing to take 
it up, I wouldn't want it to be a half-baken effort.
