Sure there is.

Yes, that's one way to do it. Another way is to put media in certain  
categories and stories in certain categories, and grant PUBLISH to  
the appropriate user groups to only those categories. Yet another  
way, if it makes sense in terms of your workflow, is to grant PUBLISH  
to All Stories to your story editors group, and grant it to All Media  
for your media producers group.

HTH,
