  • Yeah, WikiTribune was originally a for-profit project unrelated to Wikipedia from a few years back. IIRC the idea was basically to avoid the issues with fake news by having users hire journalists directly… through the medium of the WikiTribune leadership… which is basically what Newspapers were. Not a bad idea I suppose, but it definitely flopped. Now I guess they’re reusing the name for a seemingly unrelated microblogging service. Weird.
