Imagining a decentralized news network on Nostr

The players:

The plebs: consumes news and could express curiosity for specific topics
The journalist: produces news content ideally directly from the field 
The editor: aggregates news content on specific topics
The news client: displays the news content to the plebs (aggregated and not)
The relay: stores the new content and distributes to the clients

The pleb could follow either editors or journalist or simply browse topics (and also request them)

The journalist could propose topics or select them from the ones requested by the plebs or already selected by an editor

The editor could propose or select topics, and then choose from the content of various journalist to edit them together(using highlights) to compose an article (or a report) 

The client would display these contents (contributions and agrégation) offering various way to browse and filter through the info. It would also handle the flow and split of zaps, or leverage WoT. 

Content could be remunerated directly  via zaps V4V, or behind an advert wall, a zap wall, or as split of a monthly subscription (to a relay, a client, an editor, or a journalist) 

The relay could offer deals of various sorts to either the plebs (subscriptions)  or the contributors (free services in exchange of % of income) in order to store the content (especially if video or audio)
