Say I wanted to start a newsdesk. Who here has enough autism to run such a thing? #asknostr #bitcoinjobs

I came here to write this.

Not me. I'm doing the opposite of that, doing deep research and unveiling mysteries of the ancient past.

If you like the idea of also having a physical version mailed to your door alongside online version, then I'm in. The physical version can have some extras and can likely be used to fund this operation.

I've been covering the news every day for 247 days, checking and documenting it all on nostr:npub1f4uyypghstsd8l4sxng4ptwzk6awfm3mf9ux0yallfrgkm6mj6es50r407

I've been thinking that news is essentially a human filter on reality, as such, WOT and discretion are the primary tools. I would view news as 'new attestations that are made today' in that I want to know what my WOT have registered as something they believe to be factual - on a fact by fact basis. Then, reputation (individualized reputation) updates in real time based on how well the source can be trusted. Real trust!

There are still people who read articles, and journalism isn't dead, but I see a future that involves tools that assemble facts based on our networks and trust models, with bias checks, alternate viewpoints, and exploration of the networks we disagree with. And a strong culture of a) read a freaking physical newspaper in a tree sometime! b) don't live in an echo chamber!

Keep writing ✍️ the good fight βš”οΈ

I worked at a trad newsdesk about a decade ago. It was all about spinning for clickbait. No autism back then, just screaming for attention.

Ngl, it's hard - the curation, the integrity, the keeping things diverse, the truth that borders on coming across as extremisim...guuurrlll....

Best of luck, we'll be followers for sure though πŸ«‚

P S: have you looked at folks like nostr:nprofile1qqspqslf6ycws03sh6v5svrexey8nr9ulqg8jt7zdldj7qdfz4vaq3ghtxvvy ? They might welcome someone like you purrhaps? πŸˆβ€β¬›
