## Rationale
As the domains of DotSama, Substrate, and the broader Web3 universe continue to evolve, the sheer magnitude of information necessary to stay current surpasses what one individual can ingest. In light of this, our News Sharing Initiative aims to distribute this informational load amongst our team, allowing vital stories to rise to the surface and be shared efficiently. By doing so, we ensure that critical updates are not lost in the influx and every team member stays informed and engaged.

## Requirements
The objective is for each team member to allot approximately one hour each week, or a quarter of an hour each day, to this task. However, the level of detail you delve into and the determination of what is considered newsworthy, is left to your discretion.

:::info
ℹ️ **Info:** In the process of consuming your topics, should you encounter any breaking changes or imminent exogenous threats to the network's security, these should be immediately communicated via our team's Slack channels. This is to ensure the rapid dissemination of urgent updates, outside of the BAU news cycle.
