There is an interesting new overview of 4 grassroots journalism projects written by Chris Anderson. The projects are Indymedia UK, Northwest Voice, OhMyNews and Wikinews.

The report takes a very critical view of Wikinews, primarily because of its comparatively low number of articles which include original reporting (it incorrectly characterizes the other articles as "reprints"). This is a familiar criticism, and my response to it will be familiar as well to many of you. Nevertheless, I will devote some space to this in my next State of the Wiki report.
All best,
Erik
