This is a heads-up for Wikinewsies; NewsTrust is doing a particular
focus on Global Economy News. They'd welcome in-depth reports during the
time they're focusing on the topic.
It is a really good opportunity to get your work a higher profile (if
you register with them and submit it). And, you will get feedback from
news professionals on how well you put your presentation together.
Dear Brian,
Thanks so much for getting back to me about the Wiki News writing
contest -- and congrats on your new job!
Based on your recommendation, we will hold off on the proposed judging
of contest entries, but wanted to let you know about a new project we
are developing this spring, with support from Omidyar Network and the
MacArthur Foundation.
We have an interesting opportunity for collaboration with Wiki News
coming up next month, when we will be organizing a special Global
Economy News Hunt. We would love to extend an invitation to some of
your best writers to create a few good synthesis articles on this
theme, for review on NewsTrust.
The week of April 12th, 2010, NewsTrust will join forces with a select
group of partners to find good and bad journalism about the global
economy. During that week, we will look for some of the best and worst
news coverage on how the economic crisis is affecting people around
the world. Our communities will review news and opinions on that issue
from a wide range of international and U.S. news sources. (read more
below)
Do you think this would interest some of your writers? If so, would
you be willing to forward this message to the appropriate members of
the Wiki News community?
Thanks again for keeping this relation going. There may be more
opportunities for us to collaborate later in the year.
All the best,
Fabrice
