Project Summary
The purpose of this research project is to offer detailed insight into WP´s culture and explore connections and fault lines between WP and the external media environment.

Methods
This doctoral research focuses on uncovering the connections between Wikipedia (WP) and the new media environment. This will be performed through virtual ethnographies of the English and Croatian WP communities, and strategically selected cases of media events using Wikimedia statistics, documents, observation and interviews. Cases are based on the analytical differences between media events and include the In the news (ITN) main page section, 2008 Summer Olympics, 2010 Haiti earthquake and Libyan civil war. Two communities are selected for comparative reasons. The procedure involves answering questions in e-mail interviews. There are 12 questions and you may take as much time as you need to answer them following your personal experiences.
