Dear Members of the Wikinews community,
I'm a masters student in the Kennedy School at Harvard doing research on
collaborative news sites (such as OhMyNews, Global Voices, etc). Every few
months, new websites are cropping up with innovative ways of enabling and
engaging people in creating and sharing news content. This phenomenon has
sparked both enthusiasm and controversy.
I was hoping to get your perspectives as visitors and members on the
Wikinews site. To ease the process, I have a short, 5 minute survey set up
at either:
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=887731774310 (email link)
or
<a

take Wikinews survey</a> (website link)
In addition, I'm trying to reach as many readers and members of the
Wikinews community as possible. If it is possible to add the survey links
to your personal blogs, I would be most grateful for the help on furthering
this research. It is very much self-running once posted. Also, if there
is advice on how this survey might be posted for a few days on the Wikinews
frontpage, any tips would be great.
Please do not hestitate to contact me directly. Thanks!!
Sincerely,
Hsing
