Re: What do you mean by "media"? (none / 1)

It's an encyclopedia. It may be an open encyclopedia, but it's still an encyclopedia.

Does something become "media" simply when it gets over a certain threshold of regular attention? If so, why couldn't EuroTrib-cum-ETWiki also count as "media" if and when it gets the same kind of exposure?

It turns into media once it starts affecting how the population as a whole votes, thinks, and spend its time and money.

Why do you think a this Wiki will do that when no other Wiki has, and ET's previous Wiki died from neglect and indifference?

It's an encyclopedia, perhaps, but one that I sometimes read to find recent news. And I think its effects are widespread.

Words and ideas I offer here may be used freely and without attribution.
