Wikinewss

Wikinews is a free-content news source that works in a wiki, allowing collaborative writing and editing by volunteers. It is a project of the Wikimedia Foundation, the same organization that supports Wikipedia. Wikinews aims to provide original reporting and summaries of current events, with a focus on verifiable facts and diverse perspectives. Articles are written in a neutral point of view, and sources are typically cited.

The project was launched in November 2004 and is available in multiple languages, though the English version is the most active. Unlike Wikipedia, which primarily summarizes existing knowledge, Wikinews focuses on reporting on events as they happen. Contributors are encouraged to conduct interviews, gather information from primary sources, and write original news stories. All content published on Wikinews is released under a free license, allowing for its reuse and redistribution.

Wikinews operates under a set of editorial policies designed to maintain journalistic standards and ensure the quality of its reporting. These policies cover aspects such as notability, neutrality, verifiability, and the prohibition of original research unless it is in the form of reporting on interviews or publicly available data. The community of editors actively works to uphold these standards, engaging in discussions and collaborative editing to refine articles.
