Jimmy Wales, a man who co-founded Wikipedia 16 years ago which is one of the most used and most visited Website over the years and will be used for many more years to come has launched a new Website named as "WikiTribune".Whenever we visit a website read an article or news over there and or we read some news or articles on social networking sites, the first question that comes to our mind that the news or the articles we are reading is genuine or not, and if it is genuine we often try to find out the sources from where the news has arrived. There are also cases where we tend to find that the news that we read a few days ago was fake and has nothing to do with the real world, so in order to fight against this whole scenario of fake and bogus news Jimmy Wales, the man of great ideas and vision has launched this unaffiliated website named "WikiTribune".

The purpose of launching WikiTribune is the same to fight against the fake news and articles and only to present genuine news to the readers. The articles that will be available and will be published on WikiTribune will be written by Professional Journalists. According to an article posted on The Next Web-WikiTribune is a global news site that will feature stories by professional journalists; their articles will be vetted and fact-checked by volunteers, and efforts will be made to ensure maximum possible transparency about the sources of information for each piece.
WikiTribune is an unaffiliated website it means that all the articles that will be available on it will be free for its readers and the website will also be free of ads, The services will rely on contributions from supporters. The starting plan of WikiTribune is to hire 10 reporters if it reaches its first funding goal.
Well there is no similarity between already existing Wikinews and the newly launched WikiTribune, In Wikinews, anyone can provide or write content on there and it relies on stories from all around the world, on the other hand as stated earlier WikiTribune will be publishing contents of Professional Journalists only and the Journalists will have to provide a genuine source of whatever the facts or the information they are writing over there.
