Post by: reactorjuno on September 15, 2018, 05:44:41 PM
Hi folks,

Quickly posting this news that I find pretty interesting (original thread on a French forum (https://cryptofr.com/topic/14993/presse-les-affaires-canada-nous-voulons-sauver-le-journalisme-gra-ce-a-la-blockchain-et-a-la-cryptomonnaie))

Matt Coolidge is co-founder of the Civil Media Company platform. The publications will be managed by a community of cryptocurrency holders, used to reward journalists or eject publications. Mr. Coolidge is a speaker at the Infopresse Summit in Quebec in mid-September. By Diane Bérard
Extract [The Civil Media Company] is a platform that leverages blockchain technology and cryptocurrency to create a new business model in journalism. (...) The CVL will serve in a closed environment for transactions and interactions between readers and publications. The money will pass between the electronic wallet of each other. (...) The traceability enabled by blockchain technology will allow journalists to be paid for the use of their content. (...)
