This is a heads-up for Wikinewsies; NewsTrust is doing a particular focus on Global Economy News. They'd welcome in-depth reports during the time they're focusing on the topic.
It is a really good opportunity to get your work a higher profile (if you register with them and submit it). And, you will get feedback from news professionals on how well you put your presentation together. > Dear Brian, > > > Thanks so much for getting back to me about the Wiki News writing > contest -- and congrats on your new job! > > > Based on your recommendation, we will hold off on the proposed judging > of contest entries, but wanted to let you know about a new project we > are developing this spring, with support from Omidyar Network and the > MacArthur Foundation. > > > We have an interesting opportunity for collaboration with Wiki News > coming up next month, when we will be organizing a special Global > Economy News Hunt.
