Wikinews:Original reporting for the interviewee

Introduction
Original reporting at Wikinews is part of the original research undertaken by our volunteers, effectively participating as citizen journalists. Unlike Wikipedia, Wikinews allows and encourages original research.

Background
Wikinews is run by a non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, same as who runs Wikipedia. Its mission as a part of Wikimedia movement is to increase freedom of knowledge. Its mission here as a news site specifically is to write relevant news reports with minimal bias. The basics of news writing are documented at 'pillas'. Opinion pieces or reports which excessively focus on a single point of view are not included. All content is peer reviewed by experienced volunteers prior to publication.

Methodology
The interviewee is asked to answer questions privately to one of the volunteer accredited reporters who write for the English Wikinews. Once the answers are provided and the license consent is received, the answers are added to a draft news article which may include an introduction (who, why, what, where, why, how in first paragraphs, two-three paragraphs for more detail and background) from the reporter. Then the draft is provided to the reviewers for their evaluation and publication.

Results
Existing original research on a variety of topics is included here: original reporting.

Conclusions
If you'd like to volunteer as a reporter, or if you're being interviewed by one of our reporters, it will help to increase freedom of knowledge. The procedure is transparent and we can assist at our forum at any time.
