What can Wikinews take from this and work on?
A repeated concern is that we're always 'behind the times' when we do
synthesis reports. There's a degree of truth to that, but taking material
from multiple mainstream reports should make our coverage more
comprehensive, if albeit a little later.
Second, is how can we work with others? Blogs, Indymedia, and so on all
generally have a bias and/or axe to grind. This runs counter to NPOV.
Third, original reporting. Considering the size of the contributor base I
think we do pretty well on this. Are there ways we can attract more people
to do investigative work? Should we be organising things to have an online
'Wikinews Rolodex' for accredited reporters?
Can't think of anything else from this or the discussion on foundation-l -
was surprised that was so reasonable and not "damn Wikinews! We can do news
in Wikipedia!".

We'll pay what something is worth, to us. Murdock
controls the Wall
Street Journal and The Times, of London. They are both pretty
good. I
paid $20 a year for full access to The New York Times. That is
what I can
imagine paying for a high quality on-line publication. This is
not a
solution for the average paper in trouble, such as The Rocky Mountain
Journal. They may not be worth much to anyone.

Good luck to them - somehow i can't imagine
most people paying
for it.
