This is the sort of thing that really newspapers should take on collaboratively, since they would all benefit from it every day.

Sadly, it's a field where egoism rules. Not the only one for sure, but you'd expect better from the class that we, as a society, basically authorize to preach us every day about the values of our time.

I’ve been positively surprised by how leading newspapers have been, notably in open-sourcing their software. It’s far from perfect but some teams internally see the value of what they do, and a handful of managers get that by commoditising certain aspects, like software or hopefully basic facts, they can highlight their unique contribution.
