This was a confusing article and a discouraging first taste of Wikitribune. After patiently waiting for content and a real website because Wikitribune “really wants to get it right”, this article convinced me to cancel my monthly contribution. When the main site launches, if the journalism is truly unbiased and outstanding, I will reconsider monetary support again. The criticisms below echo some of the other comments posted so far, but I’ve included my take because Wikitribune is clearly in dire need of critical feedback.

The first paragraph was completely confusing. I think in particular the reference to “the nationalism and gloom evident since Brexit and the U.S. elections” implied a certain point of view as being correct while failing to help summarize the article.

The following paragraphs are not much better jumping from a British cultural reference (which at least I was able to decode through context), to the General Assembly (still unclear whether this even is part of that?), to Trump (irrelevant to the point), to Obama (left office in January 2017 not November 2016 btw). The rest of the article rambles about goals and the second half seems to be an interview with someone from yet another organization (project everyone) that is related to the goals but not the event?
