Thanks, hopefully my next car will have one on the back. :)
I don't know what you've got in place, but maybe give one person (or two depending upon how many submissions there are?) the role of looking over those news articles, and really fixing them (or sending them back)? When I go to the news section, sometimes I hardly notice the difference between user-submitted news and normal news; some do it really well. Other times, though, it's embarassing.
Another thing I thought of was to make a template of sorts to make sure it looks cleaner? For example, have boxes for the source URL and the text the link is going to say (you know, the stuff in between <a> and </a> (<a href="link>HERE</a>). I don't know how much potential there is with a template, but it's just an idea.
