Today, computer and internet encyclopedias have largely replaced print encyclopedias. The most popular online encyclopedia, ''Wikipedia'' has  stunned the world; and as a leading force in the open source revolution has shaken assumptions regarding knowledge and scholarship to their very roots.  Some have challenged its reliability because of its policy to let anyone contribute to it, but it has stood up remarkably to tests and comparisons to conventional sources such as the ''Encyclopedia Britannica''.

''New World Encyclopedia'' is a wiki-based encyclopedia which contains carefully selected articles that were rewritten and supervised by a team of editors with academic and literary qualifications. ''New World Encyclopedia'' will have the same ease of use as ''Wikipedia,'' but will differ based on an editorial policy that includes a more rigorous article selection process, editorial review process, and its wholesome values orientation.

Featured Article: Henry Fonda

Henry Fonda in Warlock, 1959
Henry Jaynes Fonda (May 16, 1905 – August 12, 1982) was a highly acclaimed, Academy Award-winning American film and stage actor, best known for his roles as plain-speaking idealists. Fonda's subtle, naturalistic acting style preceded by many years the popularization of method acting. Throughout six decades in Hollywood, Fonda cultivated a strong, appealing screen image. He was the patriarch of a family of famous actors, including daughter Jane Fonda, son Peter Fonda, granddaughter Bridget Fonda, and grandson Troy Garity.

Popular Article: Cannes Film Festival

Palme d'Or ("Golden Palm") award for the best film
The Cannes Film Festival is an annual film festival held in Cannes, France, which previews new films of all genres from all around the world. It is one of "Big Five" major international film festivals, alongside the Venice Film Festival in Italy and the Berlin International Film Festival in Germany, as well as Toronto International Film Festival in Toronto, Canada, and the Sundance Film Festival in Salt Lake City, United States. The Festival encourages the development of the cinematographic art in all its forms, and works to create and foster a spirit of collaboration between all film-producing countries, rejecting all forms of censorship.
