News requires free-speech yet auto-censorship obstacles it

News are public good yet there is lack of incentives for news for public interest

Marketing

Fact-checkers pay %1.6 of the security deposit to challenge a news piece. Half of this value is used to buy platform tokens and burn and the other half will be sent to the reward pool, which distributes rewards to news reporters. Rewards are weighted by news curations. Burned tokens will appreciate in price. News curation by readers also will be done by platform tokens and it will drive prices higher.
