I like the idea of WikiTribune but involving real journalists in an organization can be very slow and could cover only a small amount of news. It'd be a better idea to rank existing news articles on the basis of their truthfulness by allowing community members to point out fake/biased parts of it or good/objective parts of an article. It'd be a little slower for the reader to consume the news but the quality and truthfulness of the news can be preserved.
Let's assume that we built a website and a chrome plugin combo. The plugin will allow anyone to flag the fake/biased parts of a news article and the website will show the articles ranked on the action by community members (and geographic location, maybe).
Will this be sustainable as a startup/organization i.e. paying bills for a small team which builds and maintains the software? Will you/people pay a subscription to such an aggregator site which attempts to list the news links based on the truthfulness of the content? I'd love to know your perspective.
