Fake news is an online virus of deliberately misleading information masqueraded as legitimate news. To put an end to it, Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales is launching a community-driven online news service that will bring the fact-based, fact-checking mentality of Wikipedia to the news. The project, called Wikitribune, will be a hybrid model in which paid journalists will work with a broad network of contributors to create a platform where facts matter and where original reporting and investigative journalism will be supported. Best of all, the content will be guided by what the online community wants to know more about.
