An observation from the past fortnight is that nostr is used to document events that are being scrubbed, and pigeonholed on centralized platforms in instagram, youtube, and others.

Nostr can be used as a powerful tool to speak and record truth to power.

How might we get investigative journalists familiar with nostr?

We are the investigative journalists.

Yes, exactly. We tried to get “professional” jounalists here, but they mostly dismissed it as a passing fad, or some fringe/cringe thing only bitcoiners care about.

This one openly admitted that mainstream editors are heavily biased towards the negative.

You can already use Nostr to create a news journal, with the #DecentNewsroom app, from nostr:npub1636uujeewag8zv8593lcvdrwlymgqre6uax4anuq3y5qehqey05sl8qpl4 , which is a predefined set of longform (30023) articles, arranged like a magazine.

Hey, I had a press pass to Bitcoin 2025. That makes me the media!

I think nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 was asking about a Nostr CMS, which is essentially what it is. A bit like Wordpress, but lighter weight.

That’s how you write. Nostr contains multitudes.

Something I have been thinking about very deeply more with regards to how the white coat cult along with many others in the msm, memory hole important findings and data. Maybe a new solution has to be built specifically for them, along with the usual marketing to get them to try it out

How do you find stuff? By searching / hashtags?

Yes, there are a few apps, web apps that allow for search.

Step one is to admit they dont want Ghost, they want Substack. Step two is to admit they don't want to torrent their libraries to make them immortal, they want to sell their book on Amazon and you better not copy it, theif. I'm afraid the only way would be to force them into better technology by leveraging their addiction to status games,the rules of which I don't expect to ever understand.

Probably you are right. Nostr is about the one or a dozen investigative journalist who care about disseminating truth. Would be a great fit should they arrive.

Maybe we just need new journalists.

There are real ones out there.

It is a challenge being found if you dont have a massively resourced organization behind you.

Everything is more challenging when the money is fake.

- influential people need to mention #Nostr

- lack of massive audience

From there nothing else is missing.
