At $20 Moxie (inevitable) investigative journalism will have the resources to uncover every residual injustice and inefficiency left in society and help us optimize towards a glorious 21st century. Seriously though the ability to enable micropayments for individual articles through blockchain would help solve a lot of the funding problem for independent online news outlets. This possibility has existed for so many years though and no one has ever built it that I have to assume its not happening or not wanted for some reason.

i moderated a panel on investigative journalism a few years ago and elizabeth nolan brown from reason said something pretty poignant she writes amazingly well researched, thoughtful, impactful pieces on the war against sex workers, they take a looooong time when she was writing for one of the feminist outlets in 2014 they could churn out culture war bait on why a car commercial was racist or whatever with relatively low cycle time, often the outlet didn't believe what they were publishing was true but was doing it for the clicks i think it's a question of whether the individual journalist or the newsroom model will work best, i'd love to see someone take a run at an investigative journalism DAO
