"So, in essence, many Wikipedia articles are another way that the work
of news publications is quickly condensed and reused without
compensation."

What the fuck. Is there a journalist in the last four years who hasn't
used Wikipedia as their handy universal backgrounder? I'm not seeing
donations to WMF from newspapers as "compensation." I'd expect Noam
Cohen to know better than such rubbish.
