The Aggregation Era burned journalism institutions to the ground. The federated era is emerging from those embers

Journalists are the sleeper agents to catalyze the protocol-based publishing revolution. They're already operating in federated ways -- they just don't use those words. Whether it’s a creator spackling together a media company from web pages and discords -- like so many Twitch streamers. Or journalists using newsletter products to build direct relationships with (and monetize) the massive massive scale audiences they reach through vertical video platforms and don't monetize ....They are federating in DIY ways just as more and more media companies get smaller and more and more journalists go independent. How do we harness this natural momentum towards an organized movement? How can technologists and content creators work together to work as a federated army of Pied Pipers to port audiences into the ATmosphere.
