Media Ombudsman: Wiki Journalism

Ringers in the White House press room.

Sheesh.

Bottom line is that thinking people don't trust the media any more.

We don't even trust them to ask the right questions.

The right questions are at the core of journalism.

What if the public had the opportunity to craft questions for the president each time he gave a press conference?

Questions could be drafted by means of a White House Wiki.

Users could vote on the questions, the most popular questions float to the top and must be answered by the President.

Easy.

Here's a link to a video clip of the White House Press Ringer in action. Scroll down to "Gannongate". You'll need to use Internet Explorer.
