Jabarkan Kritikan dari Wikinews dalam bahasa melayu

Seperti Wikipedia (lihat Kritikan Wikipedia), Wikinews dikritik kerana  dapat tidak bersifat neutral atau melampirkan maklumat yang disahkan dan benar.  Robert McHenry, bekas ketua pengarang Encyclopædia Britannica mengkritik kredibiliti projek tersebut :

McHenry was skeptical about Wikinews' ability to provide a neutral point of view and its claim to be evenhanded. "The naivete is stunning," he said.

In a 2007 interview Sue Gardner, a special advisor to the board of the Wikimedia Foundation and former head of CBC.ca, dismissed McHenry's comment, stating "Journalism is not a profession ... at its heart, it's just a craft. And that means that it can be practiced by anyone who is sensible and intelligent and thoughtful and curious ... I go back to the morning of Virginia Tech - the morning I decided I wanted to work here [WMF]. The conversation on the talk page that day was extremely thoughtful. I remember thinking to myself that if my own newsroom had been having a conversation that intelligent (I was offsite that day) I would have been delighted. So yes, IMO you absolutely have proved Robert McHenry wrong. And you will continue to."
