The Wired Wiki is an interesting development. Citizen journalists can do more than merely participating in the information gathering process -- including collecting pictures, video, and audio; now they are able to actually edit articles for grammar, style, and slant.
Wikis are a great way to involve a media outlets most loyal and active customers -- further ensuring loyalty and viral word of mouth recommendations. At least that makes sense to me.
Further, as many journalists and traditional media professionals hold to their opinion that on-line interlocutors are pests -- unlike Kevin Anderson who is joining The Guardian next week as Head of Blogging and Interaction, it makes one wonder what kind of business model views customers as annoyances?
