Dear Michael,

Thanks so much for getting in touch. The initial news post was in fact an in-class demonstration on the merits of Wikinews. I hope you don't mind that I forwarded your note to several members of the class, including the Professor, who may be able to offer you more details.

I can confirm that I did indeed discuss Wikinews in WWS 309 Mass Media and Public Policy on Monday February 21, 2005.

My report on Wikinews was a basic overview of its history (evolution), ownership, viewership, and position in the news market. I will be interviewing Wikinews co-founder Jim Wales in the near future to discuss Wikinews in greater detail.

It seemed that the class thoroughly enjoyed the presentation and was impressed by the potential of this Wikinews technology to change traditional conceptions of news gathering.

I will be posting a blog on Wikinews in the near future that I will send your way.

Best wishes, Federico
