Is wikipedia our most trusted news source?
Winer predicted a news environment "changed so thoroughly that informed people will look to amateurs they trust for the information they want." Nisenholtz expected the professional media to remain the authoritative source for "unbiased, accurate, and coherent" information.Instead, our most trusted source on the biggest news stories of 2007 is a horde of nameless, faceless amateurs who are not required to prove expertise in the subjects they cover.
While far from rigorous research, the results of this 'long bet' indicate that people looking for information on top news stories go to wikipedia first, then blogs, then to the traditional media. Who do you trust?
