So more like a reddit meets WSJ hybrid ?

^ this part here is what id consider a good selling point of any new media news outlet proposal.


a few people i spoke to thought about doing something similar. but more of a wiki hybrid thing too. where instead of just upvoting an entire article some people can make minor alterations to certain sentances aswell.
so its less like steemit where people 'power up' posts or medium that 'heart' posts. or facebook that 'like' posts, but more editorial to get the finer details more presise.

by this i dont mean the article is forever being changed adhok/live, but a sentance being marked/highlighted/asterisked to show that a variation to a sentance exists, where by clicking the sentance, the variations can be upvoted and if enough votes show the alteration seems more factual. then the alteration becomes part of the article, while keeping the alterations/original part of the highlighted behind the scenes selection.

Hello,

This is a Pre-ann in regards to a new project I will be launching soon.
I am working on setting things up behind the scenes while sharing my thoughts on a project I have been working on for a bit.

I believe it is need for a paradigm shift in how journalism within crypto-sphere works. A good number of units are run as for profit entities running advertisements for any project and thereby fuelling even the growth of scammers. As with any industry, it is important that a well researched and adapt unit is developed to distribute news regarding the eco-system. As it stands right now-  cointelegraph and coin-desk are the leading players in the industry. Add to this the countless tiny publications that have writers of little repute working with them. I believe the centralization of how news is dispersed within the ecosystem can be a bane for the industry and a platform is needed for the voice of the average individual to reach the masses. As it stands right now  a lot of brilliant, well researched publications can often be seen in the forum here. Announcements regarding new projects, potential scams, trading tips and countless amount of drama gets wrapped beneath forum posts here. In order for the mainstream media to see the depth of the ecosystem, I believe a new news agency should be established.

What  do I propose ?

-A news outlet
-Fuelled by chatbots delivering news on mediums such as facebook, telegram
-Content curated from the best within the forum and researched / edited by experts within the community
-A consuting unit for mainstream media outlets to get diverse views and opinions on what is going on withn the industry
-Relatively decentralized sourcing of news - with individual being able to vote upon what is considered to be news and what is pointless banter

Additional features
-Using webhooks, the bot can be further used for transactions
-Adding this to a platform like facebook permits incentivizing users as and when needed.
-Ability to subscribe to certain kinds of news (ICO's, altcoins, investments into start-ups etc)

I am open to opinions. I have not yet named the project. I am still on the look out for a number of collaborators for the project.
Do share what you think about this.
