This is just a heads-up - our Vice-President Gideon Digby was interviewed today as part of a segment for The Project on Channel Ten.  The segment will discuss the recent news article about Victoria Police computers being used to edit a Wikipedia page about an event they were involved in.  <http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/victoria-police-edits-wikipedia-page-of-police-shooting-victim-tyler-cassidy-20150601-gh9vt1.html>

There is plenty of discussion online, and no doubt will be more after the segment is broadcast (6:30pm tonight).

The Project's Facebook page:

WMAU's social media pages:

We would also like to encourage people to put the article <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Tyler_Cassidy> on their watchlist if possible.

 

We expect this will provide an opportunity to build relationships with mainstream media organisations so that we can provide background and context to many of the decisions and events that occur in the Wikimedia community.

Hopefully The Project will put up a clip after the show - I'll pass it on if I see anything!
