Wikinews

• Wikinews is a great place to hone your journalistic skills in a live public, neutral environment. Unlike many citizen journalism sites, Wikinews is written in the Neutral Point of View (NPOV), which means reporters there often strive for professionalism in reporting, with consideration for truth, fairness, balance, decency and ethics. There are regular reporters there, which are often credited for their work. Some Wikinews on-going projects you might be interested in include: Audio Wikinews and Original Reporting on Wikinews
