Thanks for the offer, I might get in touch with you if someone is interested. And of
course I know there is Czech Wikinews :-), as you say, not very active but decent.
cheers

Dear Laura,
I never really thought about having an education program on Wikinews but it just seems
like a wonderful idea. I can envision a university project during a class for young
journalists. Each week, one student writes a Wikinews article on what he thinks is the
most important news of the week. This could be a refreshing way of recruiting new
contributors to sister projects :-).
There is a Czech language project. It might not be as active, but if there are some
community members there who can get in touch with me, we can try to do some things like
assist them in setting up the technical backend to allow their stories to be included in
Google News. This broadens the potential audience. But it is a very good experience for
potential journalists because it can provide them with opportunities to assess existing
reporting for things like neutrality and accuracy. It can also allow them to do original
reporting, which Wikipedia does not allow. Any support you need that I can provide in
English, I would be happy to.Sincerely,Laura Hale
