I generally agree with this and would add another take:
Delivering good news is expensive! The big players are not doing that for the most part, instead doing "newstainment" and I almost never pay attention.
Indie journalists are challenged right now, but are doing News. Most can barely make it.
Your platform could help! Having them author and get some revenue would be something I would pay for. And I do that now via Patreon, Substack, others. It is all too coarse though.
All that said, maybe plenty of people will pay. You are likely to find out. And like I said in my other comment:
Speed is nice, but compelling rules!
Maybe invite those getting views to author original material. Helps you, them, the reader / viewer.
