Wiki journalism: are wikis the new blogs?

Wiki journalism: are wikis the new blogs? Edited highlights from Paul Bradshaw’s paper. This stuff intrigues me. I think wikis are interesting but issues of scale seem to be critical. And then there are legal issues – when you write about cities you write about people and that opens up a whole can of worms. I certainly wouldn’t want to run a news wiki for Birmingham – major headache city. But wikis are very good at turning the conversation into a resource, which I’m all in favour of. I’m conflicted. More thinking needed.
