It might not be as active, but if there are some community members there who can get in touch with me, we can try to do some things like assist them in setting up the technical backend to allow their stories to be included in Google News. This broadens the potential audience. But it is a very good experience for potential journalists because it can provide them with opportunities to assess existing reporting for things like neutrality and accuracy. It can also allow them to do original reporting, which Wikipedia does not allow. Any support you need that I can provide in English, I would be happy to.
