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.
I think it's the mutual interest by both Sambad and the Odia Wikipedia
community, I remember Asaf's data (
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Ijon/Content_gap )helped me to explain
the gender gap in the content of Odia Wikipedia. I will share a learning
pattern after the event :)
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?
The event is mainly focused on improving the quality of articles related to
Women on Odia Wikipedia, We hope the journalists will turn into Wikipedians
and make it successful. There's an assurance from Ama Odisha, a unit of
Eastern Media Ltd. that after the event they'll organise Odia Wikipedia
editing camps in different parts of Odisha.
Thank you, please feel free to ask more questions.
Exciting!
Lodewijk

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.
