Local Paper Creates Wiki for Digital Journalists

An online discussion forum and networking site for new media journalists across the UK has been created by the head of digital news at the Wrexham Evening Leader.

Christian Dunn said he hopes the newly created wiki will provide a place where online reporters and other users can share top tips on digital content and provide advice to one another, reports holdthefrontpage.co.uk.

Dunn is also appealing for journalists who know of any similar blogs or discussion forums to sign up and create links to relevant sites.

"Like just about everything on the internet, this idea will only work if members sign up and actually use it to their benefit,” he said, adding: "I'm sure many of us are trying to work our way around similar problems which we could help each other with - without affecting the hits on our own sites.

"If digital news in general gets better and readers become more used to getting their news online this will help us all out in the long run."
