Dear Wikipedia; we couldn’t imagine a life without you. With Katherine Maher.
How, oh how, could we live without Wikipedia? Quick backstory: Wikipedia is run by the Wikimedia Foundation, a nonprofit organisation dedicated to the growth and development of unbiased knowledge FOR FREE. It’s also free from bias, free from advertising, free from superfluous design and the attention economy that we live in.
The impressive encyclopedia was founded in 2003 and is managed by an extraordinary team of aptly named Wikipedians, and the incredible Executive Director of Wikimedia Foundation, Katherine Maher.
Katherine joined Niko, founder of TOA, for a conversation just before she announced stepping down in February, so we didn't hold back with questions. They cover a lot: Polarisation and fake news, truth and accuracy, a new code of conduct based on respect, removal of bias and harassment, and achieving diversity!
