Wikimania was the focus for a lengthy article in the UK newspaper The Guardian. The article was mainly about Jimbo Wales' speech on The 10 Things That Should Be Free, and with quotes from David Gerard also included.

The same article was reprinted in the noted online African newspaper Mail & Guardian in an August 11 article.

The Asheville Citizen-Times is set to start a weekly supplement to their newspaper, called the Pisgah Mountain News, in which anyone can submit stories. While the service is not online-based, the paper promises to allow anyone to mail in their stories to the newspaper, as well as submit photographs to be used in the publication.

Wikipedia was cited and/or referred to in many newspapers in the past week, most notably the Salt Lake Tribune (article), the Mississippi Press (article), the National Business Review (article), and Newsday (article).
