📰🗣️ News Relays

Journalism can be remade from the ground up with Nostr.

Imagine a relay that only allows *writes* from their whitelist of correspondents.

You pay to get whitelisted to *read* from the relay.

Your subscription to read from the relay would be distributed to all of the contributor pubkeys on the relay.

These News Relays could exist for cities, countries, or even global.

A change would have to be made to clients though where we should be able to select which relays we specifically want to read from. Like “show me the Baltimore News relay feed”.

Legacy media still exists today. So it would be hard to compete with the likes of AP or Reuters.

But where this could really take off is more in the example of citizen journalism. Either hyper local news or something more like old school Vice where they cover edgier topics that mainstream won’t touch.

Imagine these correspondents / contributors in Charleroi, Hurricane zones, etc.

Anyway, the concept is quite flexible
