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.

hi Eric,

I've just read the wikinews entries into this article. It's critical as you said, but, all he said is already well known crititics, nothing new under the sun, so ...

And very partial I think, as he based his work just on the english version of wikinews.

and as always critics are about qualities a regular professionnal newspaper can't achieve (good writing, truth, trust, originality, first hand,...)

do you ever send back your newspaper to the editor asking him to erase or correct a false or bad article ????

;)
