Ask HN: What do you want from the news?

15 points

4 years ago

Some background: I'm a former journalist, and have been working for a while on trying to build a new news platform that makes sense for this day and age.

I don't mean another blog or newsletter, but something that gives you what you need to know in a way that isn't terrible.

That said, everyone seems to have a little bit of a different idea of what they would change, so I'm taking a step back and just asking some basic questions. If you have a few minutes, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

I have a brief survey here -- https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScJRzenKFf5GyrEo2tVlAEibwNJGggHD0Z0iBahhzMgmy5vTw/viewform?usp=pp_url&entry.1573644412=Hacker+News -- but also would appreciate any comments below.
