We attempted something similar in the past...only thing is, we never really "attempted." We got the idea, but never did anything about it.

Right im starting a proposal to team up with unis (Journalism and Media departments) to get them to write some stories on wikinews in exchange for our help in how to improve etc.
Which university do you think about? Or university in general? Or do you refer to another idea?
This would be good for us because we could improve our article count and maybe get more contributors and views. The only thing we would have to do IMO is to help them out like normal and to give feedback like usual with maybe and overall summary at the end (possibly).
The page i've started is http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/User_talk:Markie/Unis . Please add your views thoughts to this page.
Thanks
