1. I've always found contrasting perspectives on the same views event from different sources. My idea is to have a place where people can take a topic they're interested in and then see all the different coverage on it so they are not getting a on sided, biased take on an event.
2. There are some newspapers that print every day and other that print once a week or once a month. My idea is to have daily news sources (ie Boston Globe) publish a weekly paper or journal summing up all the news that happened that week, a summary of the week. The articles would be more in depth, more magazine-y so people could use the daily to get a brief overview then read the weekly or monthly to get a broader picture of the subject.
3. A comprehensive, local news source that takes "real" reporting and combines it with local tweets, videos, sound clips and Facebook updates on the event. This way local people are being incorporated into the news articles.
4. A site where all the news is portrayed in song. Like "We didn't start the fire" by Billy Joel.
5. A social media, news source, verifier. A team that verifies tweets, Facebook messages, instagram photos, etc. pertaining to a particular news event. This way people can see what (or who) is a reliable source.
6. An interactive world cloud of the day's news. Put in the time frame the the viewer is looking for information on and see which words or topics were BIG in that time period. The words would link to different articles on that word/subject.
7. A website that "rates" articles and news sources on how well researched/objective they are. Kind of like rotten tomatoes for news sources.
8. A cultural, international news site that takes news events and links it to cultural blogs and sites pertaining to that area. For example, say someone was reading an article about Syria. At the bottom of the page there would be links to blogs, articles and other sources on Syrian music, food, festivals, history, etc. This way people get a deeper understanding of the culture of a place and might relate more to that news article.
9. A website or news source that makes connections between current events and works of literature (fiction).
10. News or kids. Weekly or daily news in an interactive, kid-friendly fashion. Making current events more accesible to a younger population (ie relating current event to Disney).
