I wonder if this is an issue that a different centralized app could solve. Like if there was a government funded platform that just linked out to news sources.... I can make an app like that, but who gets the power in this case? My best guess would be the Canadian government, but the im not really in the know in that regard....
Isn't that just a list of digital news organizations?
Not sure why it needs to be government funded or controlled.
If you're looking for a list of all articles from each of those websites, you may be alone in that desire (though something could probably be put together with RSS). If you are looking for a curated list of articles from those websites, there's always going to be some sort of bias in the curation, but that's pretty much what Lenny and Reddit do in various communities/subreddits (like this one).
It is, but I'm spinning out about moderation and neutrality in allowed articles. I don't trust anything to do that well, but the closest candidate I think would be a nonprofit gov org most likely. I have no idea though, this is one of those things you'd have to convince someone to spend a lot of money on a leap of faith that has a decent chance of not working out
Now you're just describing the mandate of the CBC. They also have opinion pieces, but those are well labeled and avoidable.
I'm sorry, I'm really trying to wrap my head around what you're describing, but it seems to me like the thing you want probably already exists.
That's entirely possible, it's not like I did any research into feasibility or to see if anyone had done it already.
If the CBC is what I'm looking for, then all I'm saying is there needs to be a bunch more of institutions like that and a bunch less of the entertainment "news" networks
