Sharealike without contacting the author for a less restrictive
licence/authorisation ogliges the newspaper to publish the article
under and sharealike lincence. But, in the case of Mark's work, if the
journalist contact Mark and if Mark give him his authorisation to use
his work for the article, there is no sharealike obligation. Multiple
licences can be applied to the same work, journalist and lawyer
working for them should know that.

As I said, without authorisation from it's authors, a journalist can't
use a PR in his article under "regular" copyright. Off course they do
it and nobody complains, because the purpose of PR are to be used in
article. The same applies to CC-by-na-sa PR, without authorisation the
article has to be under a sharealike licence, but who is going to sue
a newspaper for not doing it ?
