- Wasn't WikiNews designed to be for news?
Wikinews usually does short little articles and is usually written in an entirely different style than a Wikipedia article. Having one centralized encyclopedia article allows constant update rather than the spawning of a dozen new stories everytime something changes.
- Is at a good idea to write an encyclopedia article based a news tickers and CNN?
Is it a bad idea? It'll evolve like everything else, perhaps even better than most other things because it will be highly attended to. It will no doubt need a little more synthesis from the vantage point of a few month's hindsight but that's no reason not to have it operating concurrently.
