I don't really know about Google, Apple, or Red Hat's policies in this regard. They don't really have "equivalent" events as far as I can tell (FUDCon might be the exception there). I have been sponsored by the Linux Foundation for various events (LinuxCon, Collab, MeeGo, probably others), by GNOME for GUADEC, and by CELF for various ELC and ELCE events, perhaps others as well.

I don't know much about RH policies, but I don't think RH or Fedora sponsors any journalists to FUDCon. Things might be different for more corporate shindigs like RH Summit, I dunno about that.
I know some conferences sponsor journalists to attend.
