This article discusses the possibilities and challenges of the
incorporation of wikis in journalistic editorial offices, especially
in the processes involving the drafting and editing of texts.
The reflection takes into consideration a context marked by 1)
continuous fragmented publication of information; 2) simplification
and horizontal organization of journalistic routines, which directly
impacts the figure of the editor (mainly in the media on the web); and 3) increasing public participation in the development of the news, with the mediation of professionals. “Wiki-journalism†practices on the Wikinews and Wikipedia sites and initiatives originating with print publications are presented and discussed, and based on them we distinguish two models, which differ in the degree of control of the process by the journalists.
