I ran the Steem Daily News for almost 150 consecutive days as a spin off from the State of Steem forums.
It was fascinating to do, and I believe it provided a useful service providing a daily summary of all the key happenings on the Steem blockchain.
There is still much going on in the world of Steem but it is very difficult to keep up with everything as there is no single point of reference.
I took a break from Steem for a couple of months to see to family issues, and now I am lost!
I made a post a couple of days ago asking about progress of the Steem Foundation, and tongue-in-cheek enquired about a Steem news service 😃
There doesn't appear to have been anything arise to replace the news service that I ran so I am wondering if it is time to revive it.
It is was great doing the news everyday but it took a lot of time.
To do it properly it needed up to 4 hours every single day.
About 3 hours for sifting through 300 - 400 posts each day, and about an hour for compiling and editing the daily post.
To do this continually was not sustainable - particularly with the low price of steem and going forward with the reduction of author rewards.
There were a couple of suggestions in the comments of my post from @cryptocurator and @gadrian about possible ways to support a daily new service.
One was to apply to the forthcoming Steem Proposal System (SPS).
I don't know much about that now. And I am not sure who to ask.
I know @starkerz, @aggroed and @eonwarped are running the Delegation Committee, but I have no idea who will be overseeing the SPS. If I recall @theycallmedan was going to back it.
There isn't a business model for the Steem Daily News so I am not sure if it would be viable or eligible.
The news service could well be extended to act as an outward promotion, and even PR, tool for Steem.
Anyone got any ideas on this?
Is it viable? How could it be taken forward?
Thank you.

I'd definitely support it. I really enjoyed your news post and I often saw things that I otherwise would have missed.

As far as I know, there will be no one in charge of SPS (not even for the donations account). It will all be handled at the blockchain level, by the code created by blocktrades.
Only 5 projects at most will be given a share from the SPS reward pool every day, but can be less, depending on votes. The top of projects to reward will be established based on stake weighted votes, similar to witness voting.

I'd love to see it come back, was a daily read for me. Maybe I should have upvoted it more. Few thoughts on it:

Good ideas @tobias-g.
I'm a bit out of touch with all the different tribes. Not quite sure how / where a news service would fit in. Any suggestions welcome.
An external website would be a possibility - I will look into that further.
Thank you.

We need something centralized to aggregate what 'we' are doing.
You were doing great, but it had to have gotten tedious.
Maybe we will get a proposal to fund a daily magazine, or two.
@blocktrades is the creator of the sps.

I'd love to see it back, but it's hard to justify that much work for just a few dollars in rewards. It needs a sponsor of some kind. Considering the crap that gets big votes from whales there are more deserving posts. I hope you can find support somehow.
