You guys have a great content aggregation idea here! This could be a great way to bring new audiences together and reach people outside of echo-circles of information. I already see some neat poetry posts when I click on the name @steempaper . I'm interested in contributing to this project.
Should contributors just type #steempaper or @steempaper in the tags, in order to be included? Or is there some kind of approval process and editor's desk? Many of us are still learning this steem platform and becoming acclimated to how it's used. Let me know if these questions are answered somewhere else.
Perhaps there will be some initial disorder to the variety of post and topics people offer/submit but eventually I can imagine you guys doing a dedicated food section! That's where I fit in.
I am an up-and-coming YouTuber who discusses food industry issues, nutritional misinformation, and charlatan quack internet doctors giving irresponsible Health advice online.
So the type of content I would be able to provide would generally be a video featurette with an accompanying contextualized script/ blog post. This brings me to my next question. Are you intending to develop this as primarily a text based steempaper/(news)paper? Would video feature submissions including an accompanying blog post be frowned upon?
As YouTube is currently a majority Monopoly in terms of a video sharing platform, there is some likelihood that including posts with video submissions will have the effect of drawing people through the steempaper, But ultimately having them Branch off into YouTube and become distracted with other suggested videos, thus leaving the steem platform... Which might not be what you want.
Thanks for your consideration

Thanks for your reply and interest in the Project @redpillvegan.
In general we want to provide a big variety of content through the @Steempaper account and therefore we´d as well accept blog Posts, that include videos as long as there´s still an appropriate amount of text ;)
Regarding the contribution you´ll have to submit the Post to us and it´ll be exclusively posted on the @Steempaper account. That way you reach a different audience, receive the liquid rewards and the Steem Power will always be accumulated to upvote all our authors on a constant basis.
