if you haven't looked at Civil yet, there might be something there for you, too - a great new blockchain-based project serving the journalism space... ;-)

Thanks very much for this link @rok-sivante, this looks very interesting! In this day and age we certainly need projects like this going forward.
yeah, this is definitely one of the most promising projects / applications of blockchain I've come across - very strong team and partners. shall be interesting to see how things unfold with/through it...
Absolutely, it looks very promising. I've just had a cursory view but I like what i see.
This is a great USE CASE for blockchains and one of my primary interests with blockchain tech since i discovered Steem. It has the potential to create a more robust independent press not beholden to corporate advertising or the political leanings of editors of traditional publishing institutions.
Thanks again for this heads-up!
Kind of like a blockchain Wikileaks.
there'll be (an unlimited) number of newsrooms focused on different subjects - not much stopping anyone from starting one up with such a focus/intention...
I had a look at Civil, and I agree it's interesting, but I think it's fallen into a trap regarding how membership is handled.
Basically, whoever has the most tokens to vote with controls who can join.
I'm not a mathematician, so perhaps my understanding isn't adequate to make that assessment. The idea seems simple enough however, and unless I'm missing something very basic, that's how their membership acceptance process seems to work.
Thanks!
