Thanks for the explanation! I am not a journalist and my connections to journalism are through linguistics and my Wikimedian work. It seems that I've mistranslated "original reporting" as clearly "[original] reporting from some event". BTW, I think that, in that case, all Wikinews should use that. To say again: We have a number of experts in Wikimedia community. _______________________________________________ Wikinews-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikinews-l
