Ask HN: What should I do with freedomofthe.press?

1 pointjawns2 comments

I bought the domain for a cup of coffee and now I don't know what to do with it.

I'm a former newspaper editor, so of course freedom of the press means a lot to me, but I'm not sure the best way to use the domain to promote the importance of that freedom.

Should I just redirect to freedom.press, which is run by the Freedom of the Press Foundation?

Or is there an opportunity for a more interesting project here?

Redirecting won't yield much, there is probably no real type-in traffic.

Why not build out a site that documents shifts in the fourth estate, biases in media groups and content designed to educate news consumers-- a la Neil Postman, Chomsky, Press Freedom Institute? Being a quality, authoritative and objective source can lead to more organic citations without too much promotion required on your part.

Tareq Haddad said on a podcast that he plans to put together a site that promotes and informs about the more general principle of freedom of the press and how it is being very damaged worldwide.
