While the days of carrying heavy text books are not entirely extinct, open source media such as Wikipedia have significantly altered the research methodology used in schools and knowledge institutions. Now, organizations such as the World Bank are looking at such tools in order to disseminate and share its breadth of knowledge with the world. On March 23, 2009, author Andrew Lih visited the World Bank to discuss the release of his new book, History of Wikipedia. Joining Lih were Klaus Tilmes, Adviser for the World Banks Knowledge Strategy Group, Mike Trucano, Senior ICT Policy Specialist for the World Bank, and Manny Jimenez, Director for the World Banks East Asia Pacific Human Development Sector Department.

The changing nature of publishing demands careful examination if publishing houses are to continue to function, information to remain widely and easily accessible, content creators to be recognized for their work, and audiences to freely and fairly access publications. This conference held June 4–6, 2007, in Washington, DC, was entitled Publishing for Impact 2007 Reaching Readers across Boundaries and it tackled myriad new issues facing publishers in the digital era.

Since then, its application in the developing world has seen support, skepticism, and a fast evolution of the aims of the computers and the project One Laptop per Child. In this presentation by Nicholas Negroponte on May 31, 2007, to an audience at the World Banks Washington offices, he explained the most current work being done by One Laptop Per Child.

But using these tools in new and innovative ways provides an opportunity to teach and communicate with crucial audiences. In this brown bag lunch, hosted on April 19, 2007, at the World Banks headquarters, team leaders from a pair of task teams in the World Bank Institute discussed their approaches to communication and engagement. Han Fraeters, a Senior Learning Specialist with the World Bank Institute, chaired the lunch.

The medias effect on governance, how this translates into public sector accountability, and how this in turn affects economic markets warrants attention to an area that until now has benefited from scant research. How does regulation of the media enhance or constrain government accountability, especially when governments are a repository of information relevant to public policy? This event, held in the Washington, DC, offices of the World Bank on April 12–13, 2007, aimed to explore media ownership, news reporting, access to information, the effects on economic markets, and what issues are at stake for political participation and the public interest.
