I just can't see wikinews doing serious investigative journalism, though, which is one of the major reasons that news corps like WaPo are worth supporting. A talented journalist can work on a major story for months (like in the Theranos bombshell), and you need to be paying someone a salary as well as money for flights/hotels.
Wikinews is a nice idea, but the vast majority of its news is just wikipedia-style sourcing of other news organizations. The original research it does seems to be mostly Q&A interviews.
