We like Steemit but it's not really a news site, more of a cross between blogging platform and social network. There's no real way to stay in the know by following Steemit, and for instance the 3 top articles on the site are "How I learned to stop worrying and love the FUD", "Steem Blockchain Update August 2017", and "Successful #2 India Steemit Accelerator and Steem Cryptocurrency Meetup 2017".

We're building a news platform for the masses, which is blockchain-based but very easy to use. You're welcome to check out https://snip.today to see what I mean.
