I am a third year student at the University of Ottawa and the reason I have created this account is to expand my knowledge about Wikipedia as well as share some of my own knowledge as a student by contributing to this Website. I am currently taking CMN 2160 - Theories of the Media, with Dr. Patrick McCurdy. He has given us the assignment to integrate our ideas & knowledge to any desired Wikipedia page which allows us to share expertise in a subject & then write an essay describing our experience with the website as well as detailing the various media theories that correspond with the idea of Wikipedia. In this assignment, I will be using theories covered in class in order to reflect on Wikipedia and the effects that media & communication can have on the world around us.
