Can someone please help me find a professional #journalist who has ten minutes to discuss an idea? Ideally someone who works for an #independent #publisher, but someone who works for a big company would be fine too.
I've got a crazy-yet-simple idea that could be a paradigm shifter for #online #journalism and I need someone with real experience to poke some holes in it or it's gonna drive me crazy.
If you don't personally know anyone who might fit the bill, please boost for reach.
@LouisIngenthron No money in journalism. Maybe talk to a dead cat...
@hasmis Not for the old way, no. It needs to adapt.
@LouisIngenthron Sorry, my brain suddenly went into a world where the entire economy of 6000 word essays was handled by chatbots. They would buy and sell for training purposes. Bundles would be securitized, perhaps 'Athenian Democracy'. The chatbots would learn and enter 'Olympic computer games tournaments' for money.... I, of course, would be dead...
@hasmis The biggest problem I see with that is that, even today, nobody reads 6000 word essays. Not even editors.
