Blockchain and Journalism, now is the time

Abstract

I argue that we can leverage blockchain technology as a tool to empower legitimate and trustworthy content in order to fight back against “fake news” and regain control of our work and professional identities in a shifting media environment. True change can be achieved collectively, and that is the purpose of the PRESSPORT Initiative. PRESSPORT is an application of ID.Legal a blockchain system developed by CITIZENZ.
