WikiTribune

WikiTribune was a website designed to improve news reporting by combining professional journalists and contributions from the public. It aimed to provide accurate, balanced, and transparent news coverage through collaborative editing and verification. Launched in 2017 by Jimmy Wales, co-founder of Wikipedia, it sought to address issues like misinformation by fostering community engagement and employing fact-checkers. Although it gained attention for its innovative approach, WikiTribune was discontinued in 2018 due to challenges in sustaining its model. It remains a noteworthy experiment in combining journalism with collaborative online efforts to enhance information quality.
