Hello,
There is a proposal on meta at
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Proposals_for_closing_projects#Close_Wi…
close Wikinews.
Currently, there is at least one French educational activity happening on
French Wikinews. (The French education project provides an opportunity for
some African contributors to share news that would not otherwise be
published.) On English Wikinews, there is a class of university students
practicing journalism skills as journalism class at the University of
Wollongong. This is the third time the instructor has used this Wikinews,
with community support, to teach future journalists the importance of
neutral, fact based reporting that must be verifiable.
Comment would be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Laura Hale
