Wow, thanks for sharing Sailesh! It's exciting to see such a collaboration
with a newspaper on this topic, and to involve journalists in the writing
process.
I'm really curious to how you came to work together, and hope you'll share
a bit more for learning purposes on that. Will this collaboration focus on
the newspaper as employer of potential Wikipedians, or will there also be
an effort down the line to encourage the readers to follow the example?
Exciting!

Dear All,
Inspired by BBC's 100 Women Editathon, The Odia Wikipedia community is
organising an "100 Women Editathon" [1]in collaboration with the Sambad
newspaper. Sambad is one of the largest circulated newspaper in Odisha and
its Eastern Media ltd. is also a popular media house. The event is going to
be organised in Sambad Bhavan on 18th and 19th March 2017. [2]
The theme of this event is to write articles on women achievers of Odisha.
The Sambad is interested in organising regular events in bridging the
gender gap in content and will also provide images of Women from its
archive.
