But they bring up an interesting question: How and when should newspaper’s integrate audience-written blogs into their coverage and content offerings? I’ll spare [...] [30 Jan 2005]
Wikinews: Participatory journalism from the folks behind Wikipedia
Via C Net news → Wired: The folks behind Wikipedia launch Wikinews, an effort to get citizen journalists to cover the news. I think this is a great idea, but I wonder if Wikinews can become a credible source of news on a national and international level. I worry about the effect of editorial decentralization on [...] [29 Nov 2004]
