Name that paper/website

[SJ fan]

If you were starting a newspaper or news website in 2020, reflecting the age we now live in currently with the technology now in place, what would you name it instead of Times, Post, Journal, etc?

Given the low attention span of general audiences today, I'd call it simply "the News" or something equally mundane. Assuming, of course, someone is holding a gun to my head and making me start a news organization.

2020? Maybe call it "Enemy of the People" or "The Fake News"?

Seriously ...

LatestSports and LatestNews are all top Google searches and currently in open domains.

FrontPageSports. SportsRightNow. TellMeTheScore. All available.

I want a finder's fee, BTW.

Not looking to start up anything. Just looking to start a conversation. Also, wasn't necessarily thinking of something strictly sports related.

I think this would be close to my actual answer. Like if you're starting an online news outlet for a suburban city, something like The _____ News might be available, depending on how unique the name of the place is. It's instant SEO, because I'm positive people often Google search "news in _____" or "______ news."

The XXX News or The XXX Times. Nice and simple.

I refuse to Google that to see if it's a porn site! LOL

A serious take: If I ran a newspaper right now, I'd 100 percent make it an evening paper and call it the Podunk Evening (Insert Cliche Name Here). I think it's definitely worth an attempt and stunned nobody has done that yet.

Hah! I used XXX as a placeholder for the name.

SEO managers around the country are slapping their foreheads and thinking, "Why the hell didn't we think of that?"
