I developed a news platform for people to know the most important 5-10 news stories every day. The apps/platform is targeted at people (like me) who don't read much news but would like to stay informed without much effort.

Currently, I have a writer who writes the stories on a daily basis. I suggest the news stories (through an algorithm I built and also manual work), read edit and publish the news she writes through the platform. However, the process has become so laborious for me (I am not a writer) and also limits the time I got to spend on the development of the platform. I've been doing this since May 2017. I believe this plaform is extremely useful for the right user (also the users, about 500 daily active on apps, find a lot of use from the apps) and really want to keep this going.

My question for you is, is there a way that I can make the news writing moderation etc crowdsourced? At this point, I would really like true journalists who see the value in the platform and care about providing good news to take over this project.
