Wikinews Pulse

Wikinews Pulse is a proposed continuation of Wikinews as a consolidated multilingual service, to be hosted at https://wikinews.org. This concept has developed in response to the public consultation about Wikinews.

It will build a more universal, data-driven version of w:Portal:Current events. The portal will have generated headlines displaying a variety of daily events from the rich data on Wikidata. Headlines will then link out to relevant updated Wikipedia articles, as well as to reporting from the Wikinews community.

Portal into Wikipedia Providing a "front page" and deeper insight into how current events are being represented on Wikipedia.
Headline generation from Wikidata Data-driven, human-curated, context-rich summaries of current events, in a machine-readable, language-neutral format.
Partnership for non-profit journalism Relationships to provide a shared backbone to public interest projects.
Community-based reporting Professional-volunteer collaboration.

Wikimedia New York City is interested in stewarding development of this project, in the same way that Wikimedia Deutschland has historically for Wikidata, and in working with the global Wikinews and wider communities on its implementation. A WMF-affiliate memorandum of understanding is being pursued so that the "Wikinews" name can be officially used for first-year transition activities, and ultimately as the renewed project's domain name. A few Wikidata editors are developing specific ideas for libraries to implement this on the talk page.

For an earlier iteration of this concept, see Wikinews Pulse/2025 consultation.
