A couple of days ago, Mile, the most active sr.Wikinewsian, made an interview about Djavolja Varos. (To bi honest, last two years I was sick of mentioning that place for the so called "new seven wonders of the world".) He tried to find someone from the organization, but when he didn't succeed in that, he interviewed Ana, a Wikipedian and a student of geology. [1]
The interview became a real success. Mile asked "popular questions" and Ana gave very hard scientific answers. Interview on sr.wn became, probably, the only journalist article on the Net in Serbian with so rational answers on ordinary questions.
I realized one more thing: We (not just sr.wn) have a very strong background in many professionals and students in many areas (from Wikipedia). A geologist is especially interesting because she may give a short analysis of every tectonic movement, volcano or similar. But, we have a geneticist, too, which may give some rational answers about pig flu; and so on and so on.
I don't think that it is necessary to keep the form of interview. Instead of that, we may ask such experts to write journalistic articles about relevant events. And, this is not original reporting. This is analytic text about some event.
So, my question is: How do you see that kind of journalism? Of course, NPOV should be followed, but what more? Is something like that already defined on some Wikinews edition? If not, is there any specific reason for that? If yes, how did you do that?
