L.A. Times shuts reader-editorial Web site
Elinor Mills writes in C|Net News:
In a short-lived mass media experiment, the Los Angeles Times has closed a Web site it launched on Friday that allowed readers to rewrite editorials after the site was flooded with "inappropriate material."
Dubbed "Wikitorial" after the popular Wikipedia collaborative encyclopedia project, the Web site was blank on Monday morning, except for a short explanation:
"Unfortunately, we have had to remove this feature, at least temporarily, because a few readers were flooding the site with inappropriate material. Thanks and apologies to the thousands of people who logged on in the right spirit."
