Comment FYI: Jimmy Wales to appear on ABC Radio this Sat. (Score 1) 368
Show rundown:
Saturday December 9, 2005
7-7:30pm: In the News: "Wikipedia"
A popular internet-based encyclopedia called the Wikipedia ran into trouble this week when its policy allowing literally anyone to edit its content led to accusations by journalists that it has become a "breeding ground for false and malicious information". The company has announced that it will now prevent non-members from working on its material, but what does this say about the reputation of information found on the internet? Freedom of Speech?
Guest: Jimmy Wales, Founder of the Wikipedia and Director of the Wikipedia foundation. Audio will be available at www.kgo.com and on the west coast on 810 kHz AM
