Wikinews and Multiperspectival Reporting Wikinews is a wiki in which users write news articles collaboratively. The project, established in 2004, is run by the Wikimedia Foundation, the organization that also supports Wikipedia. Wikinews has produced over 37,000 articles in 22 languages, with roughly one quarter of those in the English language version of the site. The site foundered early; its output seems to have stabilized to about 4-6 news articles daily, compared to an average of 16 articles each day in 2004. Comparing Wikinews to other “participatory” news sites such as Ohmynews and Indymedia, Axel Bruns contrasted “multiperspectival coverage of the news” with the Wikinews collaborative model. Bruns concluded that Wikinews’ troubles stem, at least in part, from the project’s strong adherence to the neutral point of view (NPOV) principle adopted from the Wikipedia project–a complex concept that aims to ensure that a variety of different perspectives are fairly integrated into an article in an unbiased way.
