Since the newspapers are about to die, we need something to replace the government/corporate watchdog function of journalism. (sensational news, sports, classifieds, entertainment, and celebritard news have already migrated elsewhere, so let's not consider them.)
Some form of hyper-customizable newsletter service, providing updates on upcoming legislation or business deals. There are large firms who already subscribe to such things in the form of clipping services; this goes one level deeper.
The target market should be small business owners and people who have some interest in local politics.

- jay_kyburz 18y agoI would love to see a news service based entirely on fact. No journalist emotional interpretation. Headlines would be generated based on user criterion. A search. Give me headlines new headlines (today) sorted by number of deaths in incident. Filtered globally, by country, or by city. etc etc.
- philwelch 18y agoThat'll never sell. Instead there should be a news site that gives you a brief quiz to determine your political bias, and then serves you biased news stories that agree with your preconceived ideas. It takes a task that people already do by hand, and automates it!
