Jimmy Wales: AP's 'Landing Pages' a Good, if Late, Idea

QUOTE
Jimmy Wales, the co-founder of Wikipedia, is not really in the news business. Yet, as the Associated Press noted in an internal document earlier this year, the two organizations do compete for readers when news breaks.

The AP focused intently on Wikipedia in a document describing its "Protect, Point, Pay" digital strategy, noting, "Its pages are designed to catch traffic, provide key information and then send users on their way to deeper engagement on the subjects they're interested in."

Steve Myers of the Poynter Institute interviews Jimmy Wales about the AP's analysis of Wikipedia as a competing news source.

Wow, three comments thus far on that story, and all critical of Jimmy Wales.

Poynter must have an intelligent audience.
