News is information about current events. This may be provided through many different media: word of mouth, printing, postal systems, broadcasting, electronic communication, or through the testimony of observers and witnesses to events.
The FedWiki looks like a news paper. It potentially allows one to create the "paper" as one reads it. It allows one to write the news democratically. Rather than commenting on the news, on can write it righter and more locally and more personally--if one chooses.
