What have you learned about the uses of Wikipedia and its credibility as a source?  [If you viewed the optional video on the “Metal Umlaut,” you can discuss that in your answer, too.] Think about everyday access to an important newspaper like the Washington Post.  Would you pay for it, or do you think all news should be free?  Consider this: who is going to do the long-term research and investigative reporting that roots out corruption if all news is free and not done by professional journalists? [Hint: read the optional reading on investigative journalism for more about this topic.] Please find all required reading material in the attached document.
