[Foundation-l] Wikinews enters the media echo chamber

[David Gerard]

I don't know if anyone's noticed, but Wikinews is achieving much
greater prominence. Cirt's articles on Scientology are proving vastly
popular across the Web (some of the best coverage of the Anonymous
protests, for example). And after this appeared:

http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/US_Dept_of_Justice_IP_address_blocked_after_%27vandalism%27_edits_to_Wikipedia

- I got a call which led to this story:

http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/192813/department-of-justice-banned-from-wikipedia.html

The key takeaway here is that Matthew Sparkes from PCPro got his tip
from reading the story on Wikinews.

Welcome to the worldwide media echo chamber! %-D
