INTRODUCTION TO NEW MEDIA

This article explores the evolution and significance of wikis as collaborative web applications that allow multiple authors to create and edit content. First established in 1995, wikis have become vital tools for participatory journalism, fostering community engagement and knowledge sharing. Despite their potential for promoting interactive content, wikis also face challenges such as vandalism and misinformation. Additionally, we assess the role of Wikipedia as an authoritative source of information, revealing trends in user engagement and traffic sources, especially via search engines like Google.
