Welcome

[edit]

Hi Loicyouth, welcome to the Signpost team and thanks for your edits there. Have you had a look at some past editions of ITM? See e.g. Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2015-10-21/In_the_media, Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2015-10-07/In_the_media, Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2015-09-30/In_the_media. This will give you a feel for the standard format – how to include quotations and images, adding a publication date for each article, and the final look of the segment.

I should tell you that two press stories were covered in last week's News and Notes (NAN): the NSA story and the Princess of Asturias Award. So I think we probably won't bother covering them again in this week's In the media (ITM). However, there is a new commentary on the NSA case which would be worth having in this week's ITM: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/10/wikimedia-v-nsa-another-court-blinds-itself-mass-nsa-surveillance

To look for press sources, you can check [1], which has a fairly complete, bot-operated list of media stories about Wikipedia, or [2], which has a "Wikipedia in the News" section bottom right that just lists the most important items. If you have any questions, I am happy to help. You can leave me replies here on this page – just include the string {{u|Jayen466}} in your reply, and I'll get a ping. Best, --Andreas JN466 15:35, 30 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
