New wiki site puts spotlight on Canadian music
The Internet age has helped propel Canadian music into the spotlight in recent years, with everyone from rising superstars such as Drake and Justin Bieber to up-and-coming indie bands getting a boost from online platforms and social networking sites.
But fans searching for a central online resource for Canadian music were out of luck until the recent launch of the Canadian Music Wiki, which aims to become the most comprehensive site for Canadian music information on the web. A wiki is a collaborative website where online users can add and edit their own information to build a database of content.
The innovative site is the result of a year’s work by Vancouver music journalist and recent University of British Columbia journalism grad Amanda Ash, who researched and developed the wiki as her Master’s thesis, which examined how media organizations could take advantage of the new participatory media model.
