How do people consume news today? What would it take to change their habits? What are their complaints about news feeds today? How would it work ideally?

Start from UX, and then build an experience. Almost no one cares how the digital goods work, it's all magic and that's ok

TBH, typical graph layout algos suck. Especially on mobile.

I like the idea of showing the connections of stories over time and across outlets. Just needs more structure. There are some tiered layouts with connections.

Another idea is a news summarizer vs aggregator, get me the facts and opinions across the outlets over time.

You can pick a couple of hot topics and do this manually to validate the idea
