DescriptionThis study looks at two arguably “failed” online news sites, Wikinews and Allvoices, and examines how assumed news norms and practices of curation played roles in defining them among participants within a framework of what can be defined as collaborative journalism. Wikinews, one of the Wikimedia project’s family of projects, has been continuing since 2004 but with a relatively anemic output by small numbers of members. Allvoices, founded in 2008, used a combination of citizen reporting and algorithms to curate news stories from multiple perspectives before being bought in 2011 by digital marketing firm Datran and was radically changed as an advertising platform. Between these two extremes of human-centered versus algorithmic approaches, analysis is offered on the potential of creating a sustainable model of collaborative journalism that could potentially play a role in creating an engaged, active citizenry in the networked public sphere.
