WikiTribune (stylized as WikiTRIBUNE) was a news wiki where volunteers wrote and curated articles about widely publicised news by proof-reading, fact-checking, suggesting possible changes, and adding sources from other, usually long established outlets. Jimmy Wales, co-founder of Wikipedia, announced the site in April 2017 as a for-profit site, not affiliated with Wikipedia or its support organisation, the Wikimedia Foundation.[3][4][5] Until October 2018, WikiTribune employed journalists with established backgrounds in the profession who researched, syndicated, and reported news.[6] Its website is now a redirect to WT Social.
