I'm working on something similar to the "tracker for every issue of public concern" idea that OP suggests at the end. A news site that doesn't write articles. Instead just organizes links to other peoples articles, and links to original sources, into sagas that unfolded over time.
It's not released yet, and I just talked about it publicly for the first time in another HN comment a few days ago [1]. There I asked people to email me if they were interested in being notified when I had an MVP ready, and I had a great response (33 emails, for context the comment itself only got 46 upvotes), so I guess I'll do the same here. Email is in my profile, sorry for the blatant self promotion.
