Wiki-media

News that Enron Boss Ken Lay wouldn’t be turning up for court sparked something of an update frenzy on Wikipedia, oddly enough. This Reuters yarn recounts the minute-by-minute updates to Lay’s entry as the news morphed from an apparent suicide death to heart attack brought on by the stress of the trial.
Makes you wonder what Wikipedia this thinking regarding the future of its Current Events section, and Wikinews, both of which I’ve bookmarked and subscribed to in Bloglines for daily reference.

An interesting example of citizen journalists’ well-meaning enthusiasm confusing rather than assisting readers, perhaps?
