Ahhh, now THIS looks interesting. I will be keen to see how this pans out. What do you think? (Note that this is the WikiPEDIA founder, NOT wikileaks, which is what I first thought, and scoffed at.)

Thanks for making us aware SN Greg Wright that Jimmy Wales is launching a news platform that will bring journalists together with an army of volunteer fact checkers which he is calling "Wikitribune" whose main goal is to fight fake news spread on social media.
"The project will be funded through contributions from supporters, rather than advertising or subscriptions."
Fighting fake news perpetuated on social media seems much more achievable than fighting fake news disseminated by newscasters. :-)
