    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"?

    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."
