Ever wanted to be a journalist? Here's your chance. Wikinews is a brand new site that deems itself a "free-content news service," brought to us from the wonderful people who brought us Wikipedia (a free online encyclopedia that has great articles in English or in French). Basically, once you have an account (it's free), you can submit stories, add to ones that have been written, create special topic pages, etc. I plan to help develop their culture section, as it is a bit weak right now. (I don't blame them they just launched this month.)

So if you have discovered something interesting, write about it! Or if you don't have time to write there is a space to provide links to outside sources. Go and fight that corrupt corporate mouthpiece that we call the news media with your mighty keyboards.

(Pour les francophones: Wikinews sera disponible en francais bientot. Ne vous inquietez pas!)
