Future of news and WIKI. Here is the new wikinews. I was interested in the Ukraine story, as it included phonecam photos from the people in the streets. Then I noticed the thread about the illness of Viktor Andriyovych Yushchenko (?????? ?????????? ??????) because it mentioned chloracne, something that I had heard about when my husband worked at UIC School of Public Health. I was browsing on Friday. Over the weekend, the mainstream papers picked up the story about Yushchenko's illness. Interesting sequence especially since the Wikinews was in all the blogs last week. Who is scooping whom? Main Page - Wikinews
