Anyone interested in fixing news, and doing it with Web3?
We build an open source and non profit news organization that's a combination of Wikipedia and Genius. The goal is to be a destination that people can trust to provide more than one side of a story and separate opinion from fact. It scrapes news, has an AI that organizes topics, human editors to make sure things are organized properly. It surfaces articles and videos that are meaningful contributors to the topic based on heuristics and editors. We markup biases of authors. Show when articles are making claims that lack evidence. Build a fact checking regime that is open and obvious. We don't do all the news, just pick a few hot topics each day, like Digg.
It has a website, mobile app, probably a podcast.
I imagine the non profit has a sister DAO where good contributors are rewarded with a new token we create. Use NFT's for badges. Various other options.
