WikiTribune is based in London, England, which is a controversial choice because UK law makes it much easier for celebrities to recover for libel.  Also, WikiTribune's terms of service requires volunteer editors to indemnify WikiTribune for any liability resulting from their work including libel damages.  So, if a public figure, such as Donald Trump, cannot sue a United States-based news outlet for libel, WikiTribune will be able to be sued in London under British legal standards, and any US-based volunteer that helped to write or edit the article will be forced to pay if the court awards damages.
