Catholic News Service provides news and information to Catholic media organizations around the world. In 2006, it replaced its static intranet site with a wiki to allow for more collaborative editing and sharing of up-to-date content. The wiki provides profiles of staff members, space for collaborative projects, and encourages all staff to create and edit content. It has led to more sharing of information and resources among the staff.
