A time will come when Linked Data will be the norm for media behemoths like the Thompson Reuters etc.. Note, the BBC is already leading the charge; the incentives for doing this are crystal clear to BBC and Thompson Reuters (via Calais). URIs are brand insignias, think about a data mesh that propagates value in true "Master - Details" style, so my masters records (e.g. DBpedia) are meshed with your details (links from Calais, BBC, Zemanta, and others). DBpedia will never have a fraction of the details possessed by the likes of the BBC or Thompson Reuters. This reality creates a natural symbiotic relationship in the Linked Data Web realm where DBpedia is a Name Lookup Master while BBC, Reuters, and others provide links to details from their deep treasure troves of data (facts and events etc.). The URIs from the BBC, Reuters realms are going to be their brand insignias, and over time the whole world will catch on to this phenomenon i.e., the pursuit of SDQ once SEO limits totally crystallize via opportunity costs relative to SDQ. The incentives are already clear, it just takes a while these ideas to propagate via opportunity costs.
