I'm worried that by the time we're collectively ready to move beyond Big Tech walled gardens, most publications will already be locked into Threads as their primary platform.

While Flipboard is great at bringing publications to the fediverse, relying on volunteers to do this for their favorite media outlets (like someone in New Jersey does for RFA) isn't sustainable and doesn't grant true ownership.

Could we develop a program that:

1. Establishes nostr identities for news organizations to claim when ready?

2. Utilizes RSS feeds or alternative sources to build a following?

3. Offers support to individual journalists and newsrooms?

4. Pursues web-of-trust verification and actively recommends accounts?

This could extend to other public utilities, such as transit systems or weather services.
