Why not take 3-5 members of the programming section (just an example) and get some general knowledge out of them? Not only would this mean that those white namers could finally have a chance to get their voices heard in the News Section, but having a purpose and a point to an interview is 100 times more effective and entertaining than asking random questions to a high ranking member.
My idea was a bi-weekly article that focused on a different major section each time (Graphics, Emu, ME, Exploits, etc.). Questions could range from, 'what got you into this section' to specific ones (eg. what tools would you suggest to someone just starting world building?). This would theoretically grab some traffic to the covered section each week.
