Who will emerge less urine-soaked?

Britannica kid

The WSJ posts a debate between Wikipedia founder, Jimmy Wales, and Encylopedia Britannica editor-in-chief, Dale Hoiberg. Barbs are thrown, caught.

Hoiberg: We want our articles to be correct before they are published. We stand behind our process, based on trained editors and fact-checkers, more than 4,000 experts, and sound writing. Our model works well. Wikipedia is very different, but nothing in their model suggests we should change what we do.

Wales: Fitting words for an epitaph…

In case WSJ takes the article down from their site, I saved a copy as a PDF.
