Journalismto is an open, collaborative online resource and community focused on documenting the evolution of journalism in the digital age. It operates as a wiki-style knowledge base where contributors can create and edit articles about journalism practices, technologies, ethics, pedagogy, and related topics. The project emphasizes verifiability, neutrality, and open licensing.

Content covers areas such as verification and fact-checking, data journalism, multimedia storytelling, newsroom technology, audience engagement, safety, and policy. It provides case studies, how-to guides, glossaries, and annotated bibliographies. Topics are organized for educators, students, and practitioners and are linked to primary sources when possible.

Journalismto began as a community-driven project in 2020, initiated by a coalition of journalists, educators, and technologists. It adopted a Creative Commons licensing framework and a transparent edit-trail. Over time, it expanded to host tutorials and collaborative playlists, with periodic reviews by an editorial board.

Editorial standards require neutral point of view, citation of reliable sources, and attribution of edits. Contributions are moderated by volunteers; governance is community-driven with an open code of conduct. The platform is accessible under CC BY-SA 4.0, allowing reuse with attribution.

Reception has been mixed: widely used by journalism schools and independent reporters as a learning resource, but some critics note potential inconsistencies due to crowd-sourced contributions. Proponents view it as a living archive for best practices in digital journalism.
