|abstract=Phase Two of the News On Wiki campaign, which improves wiki coverage of local newspapers, was conceived and launched at WikiConference North America in 2019. Starting early in the pandemic, we adapted to a purely online version of this campaign, and helped existing and new wiki editors build content related to Black owned newspapers, newspapers of Washington State, and newspapers of or about the Caribbean.

We had some of our most enthusiastic engagement from Arizona State University journalism professor Kristy Roschke, whose students researched and contributed to wiki content in all three areas. Going forward, we are refining our classroom approach to improve the fit between educational outcomes and on-wiki content generation.

Join campaign leaders [[User:Shanluan|Sherry Antoine]], [[User:Peteforsyth|Pete Forsyth]], and Prof. Roschke for a presentation on how this campaign has helped Wikipedia and the Internet in general provide better information about local newspapers, and our focus on content from local communities and demographics that are oat times overlooked by the public and by Wikipedia editors.
