Fwd: resignation
by Brian Anderton 25 Apr '09

25 Apr '09

Hi everyone, I am just forwarding this email which was sent to scoop, to the list. (Mainly so I can link to it on wiki) Regards, Brian Anderton Independent reporter accredited by Wikinews. en.wikinews.org --- Disclaimer: Accredited Wikinews reporters do not represent the Wikimedia Foundation; they are trusted contributors who the Wikinews community has certified per the Accredited Policy ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Gabriel Pollard (wikinews) <gabriel.pollard(a)wikinewsie.org> Date: Fri, Apr 24, 2009 at 9:47 PM Subject: resignation To: scoop(a)wikinewsie.org Dear fellow Wikinewsies, This email has been a long time coming, and I think it is now the right time to relinquish my accreditation, my administrator duties and the seat I hold on the arbitration committee. As the long-time Wikinewsie would have noticed, I just dropped off the face of wiki and, to be honest, I don't regret it. While I do look back at my time on Wikinews with fondness and admiration, I don't have the will to write there anymore. Writing is my passion and that's why I've got my own blog (http://birdseyenews.wordpress.com) and I am enrolled in a Media Communication course at a local polytechnic. Wikinews set up my writing career and got my name out there, and I'll never forget that. I do hope the Wikinews brand continues on continues to grow and thrive for some time yet. On a less than positive note, I must admit now, looking back, if I ran Wikinews I would focus more on the original reporting side of things and get rid of the recycling of mainstream media outlet's news stories. It's been a please. Regards, Gabriel Pollard.
