Structure
Hierarchy definition
This project was formed primarily to form an objective approach to develop a conceptual framework that might shed some light on systemic bias within the Mass media industries. The scope has been expanded to be inclusive of the circumstances of the technology involved as it applies to the cultures it effects. The project might possibly spawn or adopt child projects that cover the technology side, for example Wikipedia:WikiProject_Television, hence the parentage of Wikipedia:WikiProject_Technology and the culture side, for example Wikipedia:WikiProject_Entertainment, hence the parentage of Wikipedia:WikiProject_Culture.

Adopt an article
Similar to the Collaboration of the week, but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article. This would involve doing the research, writing, and picture-taking (if possible) for either a non-existent article or a stub. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced.

Background and project basics
A WikiProject is a collection of pages devoted to the management of a specific family of information within Wikipedia. It is not a place to write encyclopedia articles, but a resource to help coordinate and organize article writing. The attached talk pages are a convenient forum for those interested in a particular project. Projects can also have associated Wikiportals.
Regional notice boards also seek to improve a broad category of articles based on geographical regions.
Suggestions for new projects
- Read Wikiproject Best practices for tips on leading a WikiProject.
- Create the main project page at Wikipedia:WikiProject projectname. (See Starting a new page)
- Create an outline on your project page:
- Add {{subst:WikiProject|projectname}} into your main project page and save. (See m:Help:Template for details.)
- Identify pages within the scope of your project:
- A good way to do this is to copy the listings of Special:Whatlinkshere for the most important articles related to your project.
- You will probably want to save a copy of the list on a project status subpage.
- Create a project to-do list to focus and coordinate your collaborative efforts.
- If possible, link to a sample article to give other Wikipedians a feel for the project's goals.
- Advertise!
- Create a project notice template, and insert it at the top of the talk page of related articles.
