	Wikinews - Meta
		Wikinews is a project which aims to collaboratively report and summarize news on all subjects from a neutral point of view.
		Wikinews seeks to create a free source of news, where every human being is invited to contribute reports about events large and small, either from direct experience, or summarized from elsewhere.
		Our fourth requirement for Wikinews is therefore that there must be processes in place to ensure that original reports are accurate and legal in the country of publication (and possibly the country of the primary readership, but this is left for individual Wikinews communities to decide in agreement with the Wikimedia Foundation).

	Wikinews:Original reporting - Wikinews, the free news source
		If you don't want to publish notes on Wikinews itself, whether for privacy or length reasons, feel free to e-mail the research to an administrator or an accredited reporter, who should note on the article's talk page that they have received the research notes.
		Wikinews is not a peer-reviewed scientific journal, but we would like to be taken seriously, and every bit of authenticity helps.
		Wikinews also aims to write stories from a neutral point of view.

	WWS309: Wikinews Presentation
		Wikinews is a new project begun just last year that aims to collaboratively report and summarize news on all subjects from a neutral point of view.
		Wikinews seeks to create a free source of news, where every website visitor is invited to contribute reports about events large and small, either from direct experience, or summarized from elsewhere.
		Therefore, while Wikinews aims to be a useful resource of its own, it will also provide an alternative to proprietary news agencies like the Associated Press or Reuters, allowing independent media outfits to get a high quality feed of news free of charge to complement their own reporting.

	News and jobs for journalists :: Wikinews supercharged by London bombings coverage
		The first report on the bombings was filed by one user at 10:18 GMT on 7 July - just an hour and a half after the first explosion - but in line with this policy she waited for confirmation in the mainstream media before publishing it.
		Wikinews, on the other hand, was founded specifically to encourage original reporting.
		Wikinews is only seven months old and its strategy for dealing with breaking news is still evolving.

	unmediated: wikinews
		Wikinews is founded on the idea that we want to create something new, rather than destroy something old.
		Wikinews will already be useful even if we start out by having relatively few original reports - because it will provide free, neutral, aggregated summaries of the news from elsewhere.
		Wikinews is a proposed project with the goal to collaboratively report and summarize news on all subjects from a neutral point of view (via boingboing via Joi):

	Angela Beesley: Two reports on Wikinews
		Erik reports that the number of Wikinews languages has grown to 12, with Ukrainian and Italian being the latest editions.
		Erik quotes Datrio as saying the Polish Wikinews community is "aiming to become one of the main news sources in the world, and so far, it turns out pretty well." The troubled French edition is finally seeing some growth and Erik gives examples of real articles that are now being written there.
		However, this neutrality is criticised in Matthew's article as he writes "in their zeal for a Neutral Point of View, Wikinews seem to revise the life out of their stories, reducing lively news coverage to dull regurgitation of facts".

	News and jobs for journalists :: Wikinews trumpets online revolution

	Open-sourcing the news \| Newsmakers \| CNET News.com
		The project, called Wikinews, is in its early stages and faces clear challenges, from the difficulty of doing original reporting to delivering news quickly in a peer review model.
		Wikinews is just one of several wiki-related efforts--from an online dictionary to freely available textbooks--being run by the nonprofit Wiki Media Foundation.
		But Wikinews appears to be the project in development getting the most attention--at least from journalists.

	Internet News: Wikinews
		At Wikinews the aim is collaborative news gathering and reporting.
		In practice, Wikinews might have some value for picking up first hand accounts by citizen (untrained) journalists, but it's not likely to ever be a fully credible source.

		Wikinews is an experiment in collaborative news gathering and reporting, and the latest in a collection of Wikis (pronounced WIK-eez or WEEK-eez) under the umbrella of Wikimedia, which cultivates free and open information resources written by its users.
		By comparison, Wikinews is a newborn, having opened its doors to interested news writers and reporters in December.
		For Wikinews proponents, the evolution of content is one of the system's strengths, and one of its challenges.

	Boing Boing: Wikinews uncovers tech code of Capitol Hill Wikipedia hijinks
		What's interesting here is that Wikinews seems to be doing a better job at connecting the data dots than some of the larger commercial news organizations covering the story.
		This was partially confirmed using e-mail responses from the offices of Senators; where the originating computer was connected to the network directly and was not a part of block 222 (a section which seems to be reserved for servers), the IP addresses matched the prediction pattern.
		Wikinews is saying that someone (I'm presuming Wikinews contributors) sent emails to specific Senators' offices, then read the email header data that came back on autoresponder emails to get the IP address for each office.

	portland imc - 2005.05.18 - Community-owned news with WikiNews
		The diversity of news stories is driven simply by the personal interests of the participants; this gives WikiNews an interesting skew, with a noteworthy depth of coverage in some areas (such as Romania) and little coverage in others.
		But with WikiNews, the individual's voice is melded with dozens of others, creating a positive feedback loop, where the best is kept and the worst is trimmed out.
		Wikinews will very likely be a major factor in affecting who is the next president of the United States.

	p2pnet.net - the original daily p2p and digital media news site
		I have heard many arguments and ideas on why Wikinews will, must fail, but the most bizarre reason that has been brought up against it is that "we don't need it", because there are already so many different news sources and blogs.
		Wikinews articles can become the basis for pieces in your local district newspapers; they can be used by people who could never afford the licensing fees associated with a Reuters or Associated Press news feed.
		If you're an artist, you could create a Wikinews logo and add it to the respective page on our cross-project coordination wiki (note that you have to be logged in before you can upload files).

		"Wikinews articles are short-lived, so there is a reduced feeling of contributing to a knowledge base that will last a lifetime," he said.
		The Wikinews community is debating whether such continuing stories should be folded into one updated article, as in an encyclopedia, or published in a series, as they would be in a newspaper.
		McHenry was skeptical about Wikinews' ability to provide a neutral point of view and its claim to be evenhanded.

		The site isn’t as frequently updated as many other news sites; but this is due to the fact it is ran by volunteers and it doesn’t receive wires from companies like AP.
		Wikinews offers many RSS feeds, and I imagine this would have required some code as the RSS/ATOM functionality in MediaWiki is fairly low.
		Wikinews was a community-driven news site long before Newsvine existed.

	Hypergene MediaBlog » Interview with Matthew Yeomans on The Birth of Wikinews
		I saw Wikinews as a great way of showing the incredibly steep learning curve that citizen journalism will need to climb to be taken seriously and to produce work of real journalistic value.
		Wikinews would be better suited to a magazine/newsweekly format where it has the time to digest all this info out there and package it for a comprehensive read.
		In many ways, the Wikinews operation is like a real newsroom - the deadline pressure is similar and the squabbles are similar.

	Updated Wikinews Statistics \| Snurblog
		I presented a paper reviewing the first year of Wikinews at the Association of Internet Researchers conference in Chicago in 2005, and this paper has also been accepted for publication in Scan Journal in June 2006.
		The current (but limited) stats on Wikinews itself indicate an average growth rate of only 8.5 new articles per day since December 2005 - and this rate therefore seems roughly steady since May last year if we ignore the aberrant July-September period with its terrorist attacks and natural disasters.
		In addition to this, Wikinews' style of presenting the news takes little advantage of the wiki platform, but rather attempts to press its content back into a traditional time-based news format, when wikis are clearly much better suited to a dossier-style presentation of content with incremental updates.

		Wikinews is not a peer-reviewed scientific journal, but we would like to be taken seriously, and every bit of authenticity helps.
		Since Wikinews has no formal approval process for authors, when contacting sources, you must represent yourself as an independent author/researcher, not as a 'representative' of Wikinews.

	Wikinews cannot issue press credentials to its users - Around Wikipedia - Jean-Baptiste Soufron
		Several people mentionned that this should be done with respect the Wikinews trademark, that it could also give a bad image of the Wikimedia Foundation if one of the credentialed users abused the Wikinews name to gain access where access would not otherwise be granted.
		As of today, Wikinews is not such a press organization and cannot benefit of their privileges.
		It can certainly allow certain people to claim that they are wikinews user and set up a process to do so, but they cannot pretend that they are members of a press organization.

	WikiNews Holds Online Conference with Bloggers

		One topic covered, using RSS feeds for Wikinews, has spawned a temporary RSS feed on Blogspot, until a permanent feed can be established.
		Wikinews stories are fluid, being edited on a continuous basis, whereas blogs tend to be more a fixed, finished product.

		Now that Wikinews has launched - aiming to be a neutral, collaborative news site written by citizen journalists and editors - I thought I'd take a look.
