Are you familiar with EVE Online, and particularly, Goonswarm?
I ask because they offer a good way about going about this.
EVE Online as a game is famous for its meta. More precisely, the meta is the only redeeming quality of the game, period. And Goonswarm plays the meta very well.
For a long time the "news" of eve was EVE Tribune, which did long form exposition. They were replaced by EVE News 24 which was more of the CNN Headline News. But they went partisan, and were eventually competed with Imperium.news, which is basically the Fox News of EVE.
I know a bit about Imperium.news because I was briefly involved in its immediate predecessor, TheMittani. They use discord and have a large stable of infrequent long form writers, and a smaller pool of regulars.
They do pay a bit for stories (I believe in PLEX, an EVE playtime coin), but mostly the biggest perk of contributing is being part of the newsroom discord, which is very social.
I hate to admit this, but I'm actually IN Goonswarm...
Not sure why the downvotes (probably because it's a bit hard to decipher your advice), but I do understand your points, and I'll look to them for direction.

I assume there's some salty TEST guys here.
