Ask HN: News sites suck, is there a site where people write long articles

[mouselover]

Like a Twitter for news but longer

[davelnewton]

Longer than... 140 characters? What are you actually asking for? Be specific. NYT writes long articles. New Yorker. Christian Science Monitor. What do you want?

[mouselover]

something similar with NY Times but written by everyday people (like Twitter)

[davelnewton]

"Everyday people" don't write long articles.

Not quite what you're after, but a curated, speed-readable list of good reads.

[mouselover]

Was not expecting that,interesting

[chintan39]

I am working on a similar platform called TalkBig http://talkbig.co

[mouselover]

I'm kind of newbie in the start up world but your 'landing page' does not offer that much info about what the product is about

[Warewolf-ESB]

Yep you're right. No idea what this is and how I can get more info without submitting my email.

someone recommended this: Its kinda like a kick starter for writers. Though in the end its a subscription thing.

Have you looked at Medium.com?

[mouselover]

Yea, but medium is mostly stories . I wanted something similar with Twitter that will show news in real time and give users the power to write them rather than big conglomerates like CNN or fox.

The New York Times. There articles are quite in-depth.

Try paying for it, or it will go away someday.
