Dear all, I was wondering if anyone, in the Wikimedia movement, has done editathons and wiki-events with *journalists*. In April, Wikimedia Italia will host a workshop at the International Journalism Festival, and we'd welcome tips and suggestions. Cheers Aubrey

New ED of Wikimedia Norway
by Erlend Bjørtvedt 01 Mar '15

01 Mar '15

Dear friends in the Wikimedia movement, With much gratitude and anticipation, the Board of WMNO this week named Astrid Carlsen, Executive Director of Wikimedia Norway! Many of you already know Astrid as a dedicated, energetic, and knowledgable colleague, and we are pleased that Astrid excepted to take the challenge of more direct responsibility and leadership in the organisation. Astrid has been our GLAM officer during the last 1,5 years. She has already performed several executive functions, and this codification of that experience is a natural next step for all of us. We are thrilled to have Astrid with us in the future, as we are entering a breaking point with new challenges for funding, professionalization, and clarifying further the divisions of labour between ED, Board, staff, and volunteers. The upcoming general assembly in April will further lay those foundations. We are fully convinced that Astrid will assist and pilot our chapter through these challenges in an excellent way All the best from Wikimedia Norway Erlend Bjørtvedt -- *Erlend Bjørtvedt* Nestleder, Wikimedia Norge Vice chairman, Wikimedia Norway Mob: +47 - 9225 9227 http://no.wikimedia.org <http://no.wikimedia.org/wiki/About_us>
