But that's exactly my point. Wikinews has had it's chance, for years, and it didn't make the grade. Time to cut the losses and try a new project with that 100K investment. Every corporation looks at the brands which have lingered around and has to make the decision to cut and re-direct. How many more years do you want to give Wikinews to try to make it before you cut it out? Or would you never cut it out at all? 100K on a new project like WikiEarth or WikiDirections or WikiStockQuotes or whatever might pay off soon. Wikinews has never paid off it's investment.
