Various organisations such as AP make good money selling their stories. There are still some freelance journalists left and traditionally stories were purchased from local newspapers. The complaint is that we benefit from their front line reporting which is rather expensive for them without carrying out front line reporting of their own. >From a news company's POV there is little point in sending someone to Iran to report on events if people are only going to read your reports as rehashed by blogs and wikipedia. -- geni _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
