I've been meaning to improve "news" for a number of years now, with limited success so far. The current news industry is broken beyond repair: all you get are bite-sized irrelevant factoids. A good news service would be:
- Relevant to you and your interests...
- ... but diverse enough to feed your intellectual curiosity
- Delivered in a timely fashion: apart from once a year big events, most things can wait for a few days, no need to require you to read the news every day
- Include some analysis to allow you to see the big picture
When I started a few years ago, I thought naively that a little machine learning should do the trick. But the problem is actually quite complex. In any case, the sector is ripe for disruption.
