Abstract
This paper investigates the evolution of many-to-many online participatory
journalism, by focusing on the case of Wikipedia, a multilingual, online encyclopedia created collaboratively by thousands of ordinary Internet users. By allowing anyone to edit any page within the web site, Wikipedia has flourished by presenting a low barrier to participation, maintaining a human-centered working environment and making contributors stakeholders in the journalistic effort.
In just three years, it has gained a large following and is available in over 50
different languages. This paper analyzes its fundamental links to the open source movement, emergence as a unique online community and role in the modern media ecology. It concludes with an interpretation of participatory journalism as an ecosystem of technology, community and content.
