A couple friends and I were thinking of curating news together. Each one of us will tackle on a few topics each day, reading through most of the news of the selected topics, and with a bit of research, select one or more news articles that best describes the event, maybe with a little bit of "the curators context".

The goal is to help each other reach a less biased and more reliable source for news. The challenge is obviously the effect of individual biases, and the time spent curating news may affect the quality as well. One of the biggest trade off is that since we're going through news of the day, the curated news would be delayed, maybe as much as a day.

Instead of just posting them on a facebook group, we're thinking of throwing our curated news as blog posts, so that other people may benefit if they choose to use it.

What does HN think? Would you read curated news for less biased and more reliable information with delayed consumption on the event as a tradeoff? Any idea and feedback is great, as we want to further mature the concept (e.g. setting up some rules and baselines, as well as deciding on how to delegate each topic, etc.) before starting out.

Cheers and have a happy new year!
