New York University is undertaking the task of naming the top 10 works of journalism for 2000-2009, according to its Web site.

The project already chose 80 finalists, ranging from The New York Times' 'A Nation Challenged' reporting after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks to Jon Stewart's Election Night coverage for 2004 and 2008 on Comedy Central. Judges include some faculty members, as well as the likes of '60 Minutes' Morley Safer and Columnist Kathleen Parker of the Washington Post Writers Group.

One would-be nominee that is missing is Wikipedia, sparking at least one opposition view from Reason.com's Greg Beato, who writes: " ... while Wikipedia doesn't do any original reporting or break any news itself, it has established itself as a go-to site when big stories break. On the day after Michael Jackson died, for example, his page at Wikipedia attracted 5.9 million visits. It may not have had the most detailed coverage of his death, but it was the easiest, most efficient place to get a comprehensive overview of his life."
