Quote
Whatever Councillor Joe Mihevc's flaws, false modesty is not among them. The Ward 21, St. Paul's councillor, facing a strong challenge from veteran politicians John Sewell and John Adams, answered a survey from Internet site
Wikinews
that asked, in part, what city council decisions of the past term were the least desirable. His answer? "Ward 21 was well served by City Council, " he replied. "No adverse decisions were made."

The July 7 article on Wikinews did indeed report the figure that was given at the July 7 press conference. Wikinews reported the updated totals, given to the press later, in later separate stories on subsequent days:
Death toll from London bombings rises to 37
London bombing death toll rises to "more than 50"

Crowd pleasing made easy
Sydney Morning Herald

However, most other attempts at citizen journalism haven't fared so well.
Cincinnati Enquirer's Gregory Korte: "Certainly, people are more than willing to give their opinion. Providing information is something else. And expecting people to go out of their way - to do anything like the kind of reporting that professional journalists do - just isn't realistic."
Even Wikipedia, arguably the most successful crowdsourcing site available, hasn't exactly shaken the world with
Wikinews
, its attempt at citizen journalism that was launched more than two years ago.

Tip nr. 8: Keep Wikipedia sister sites like
Wikinews
on your radar. For one, Wikipedia's sister sites form part of the internal link network, unlike regular external links. Second, these sites get traffic, search engine visibility, and links too. You might even want to incorporate into your PR strategy getting coverage on Wikinews. Just like your PR firm or PR department would approach journalists with story pitches in the mainstream media, they can approach Wikinews correspondents as well.

Wikinews and Multiperspectival Reporting (Thesis)
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
, October 3, 2007
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.
Comment:
Although it's a thesis, the author didn't quite like us too much.
