Poynter Wikis Home

Welcome to Poynter Wikis, a "self-service" resource for and by journalists.

You have reached a homepage that will direct you to various wiki projects initiated by The Poynter Institute.

Poynter Wikis is modeled after Wikipedia, an encyclopedia that anyone can contribute to, and anyone can edit. The idea is that group intelligence and knowledge can create an encyclopedia -- or a journalism resource -- that's better than anything produced by a small group of "experts."

Edit These Pages

You're the editor (and the writer). Making changes to the pages in Poynter Wikis is easy. When you find a page that you want to add something to, or edit, simply look in the right column for a list of commands. Click "Edit Page" and use the page editor to make changes. Don't forget to save your changes.

(Important: You must register in order to edit wiki pages. If you're not registered yet, simply click the Register link in the right column of the page.)
