"It's all sourced to mainstream news organizations," media critic Kennedy observed. "Maybe over time, people are going to do something different from that and be reporters, but at the moment it seems that people are just rewriting the wires, crediting them and putting that up as Wikinews. This is a breakthrough?" Hmm, isn't this how the CIA and others do most of their intelligence work too? Analyzing open sources. Give them some slack eh, it's only a demo yet. "...I don't think it's going to be competitive with hard-nosed, investigative journalism. That's the role for experts with access." Yeah, and a great job they're doing too :-( ...and BTW wikis track their contribution history too, for those who'd rather believe authority than evidence :-) |
