Wikipedia in the Newsroom
Some Wikipedia citations seem to sneak into the print mainly because editors don’t catch them.
“Turducket” is an odd word that describes the method in which information gets transferred.
Wikipedia is made up by about “1/5 of the editing is done by anonymous users” (Computers in Society)
Online disclaimer: “Anyone with an internet connection can alter the content…nothing found here has been necessarily reviewed by people with expertise required to provide you with complete, accurate, or reliable information”.
Wikipedia in the Newsroom
Wikipedia nowadays appears to be a useful “source guide”.
Names of researchers books have been published and can be used as a quick way to find resources through wikipedia

Results:
1. Both faculty and students generally agree on appropriate use of e-mail correspondence, although faculty are less likely
2. E-Mail usage - Faculty: send out reminders, feedback, announcements, items of interest- Students: set appointments, turn in and discuss assignments, grade clarification
3. Both agree e-mail has positive impact but research shows positive and negative‒ Faculty: Feel students can become apprehensive about using email due to direct
communication with instructor rather than group communication Students: More often believe e-mail leads to higher grades
Conclusion Faculty presence thorough e-mail usage highly effective in
establishing cognitive thought in students by using scholarly thought and dialogue
Continued collegial advancement and student- instructor interaction dependent on one-on-one communication with each other
