Michigan State University has launched the
Great Lakes Wiki to encourage residents of Great Lakes states to tell the stories of the region. The wiki was one of ten nationwide that received start-up funding from
J-Lab: The Institute for Interactive Journalism.
Excerpt:
"The Great Lakes represent a complex story often incompletely told or ignored by mainstream media," said Dave Poulson, associate director of MSU's Knight Center for Environmental Journalism. "The story requires many authors with diverse views, intimate knowledge and a passionate stake in nearly 20 percent of the world's fresh surface water."
