WikiTribune is an inventive news platform which evolves journalism in a way that hasn't been done before - bringing together a Wiki-style community with paid professional journalists in an effort to create a collaborative news space; a high quality neutral platform that is genuinely community controlled and which also has a backbone of professional journalism. WikiTribune takes professional, standards-based journalism and incorporates the radical idea from the world of Wiki that a community of volunteers can and will reliably protect and improve articles. It is structured to provide verified and improved fact-based articles that have a real impact in both local and global events.
