A web design firm called “Information Architects” produced a case study of what would Washington Post look like if it were to be redesigned as a wiki newspaper / website.
The basic idea is that readers would get more involved in the editorial process, contributing their own content, communicating with editors, and choosing what should be in the next day’s print edition.
To an extent, that’s what we’re trying to do with the Voice. Through our soon-to-be launched website, we want to have the whole Harvard community talking with our writers and editors, contributing their own thouhts and articles, and thus “co-editing” the paper together with the newroom staff.
