Raw info dumps are a horrible alternative.

City council meetings where I live regularly run on for 2/3/4 hours. Trying to process the video of that myself, rather than have a reporter there who can synthesize would be a colossal waste of my time. And that's just one source of information. County, state, national, and international news are also important to some degree.

And that's without even going into Wikileaks' connection with Russian intelligence agencies, or whatever the heck went on.

I don't think you should do it yourself. The community will do it and the original source material will be there to reference.

"The community"... is not going to sit through mostly boring evening meetings for free every few weeks and sum things up for you, all for free.
