I have been watching the development of the Wikipedia entry on the VT shootings over the last week. Surely this is collaboration at it's best. It is more up to date and maybe more accurate than my local newspaper. I certainly read reports in Wikipedia that were not reported or reported incorrectly in the newspaper.
It makes me wonder about what is around the corner. What will be the state of journalism and the future of journalists when we can use our tv's in a collaborative wiki format?
It is now imperative that we teach our students how to critique, synthesise and analyse, and they must learn how to ask the hard questions.
