A Bitcoin Friendly News Network

[ZakCarter]

The problem – A small handful of mega corporations control some 90% of the news media in America, and distrust in the mainstream media is at all time highs.  Independent and online media to date has tended to be biased towards one side of the political spectrum or the other, or has lacked the professionalism necessary to be taken seriously, along with lack of funds to really invest in boots on the ground investigating and fact checking of stories.

Starting up a network in the mold of the traditional network would be cost prohibitive, and with the way video content is being viewed in 2014, also wouldn’t make sense.

The solution – Starting a non traditional network by focusing on one show and producing great quality content, getting it on as many online and mobile (Roku, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Netflix, etc) platforms as possible, before looking to add another show. 

Since I started working with Ben Swann (a 30 something news anchor with 14 years of journalism experience http://benswann.com/ben-swann-bio/  and bitcoin advocate - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adrh83IHp6s ) we’ve taken some steps forward with our plans to build a news network around Ben, the “EMP News Network.”  Ben has a proven track record of asking equally tough questions to both Republicans and Democrats and holding their feet to the fire - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4j_G0nmbWE -https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfdRv4mkXBsK5uF2jA8Y1HMjqHbpuOkku   - Real news goes beyond politics though and so do the stories we cover, and we are out to show the country that Humanity is Greater than Politics.

We’ve launched a Roku channel to help distribute our videos to new audiences - http://www.roku.com/channels/#!details/35662/ben-swann-truth-in-media  - and our broker is in talks with Hulu, Amazon Prime and other video distributors.  We also have a radio show, and plans for a syndicated cable TV show.  We're out to shake things up!

We truly believe we need to change the media landscape right along with the financial landscape, as bitcoin is already doing!

Good luck on your venture! Its always healthy to have an extra question here and some extra investigation there. The truth is out there, as some Agent Mulder used to say :-) We are in the Information Age but sometimes looks like is the era of the Mainstream Age or the Misinformation Age...

Here's very interesting question answering about media from Ben Swann himself

Question: "Ben, what are your thoughts on Bitcoin, Litecoin, and other alternative online currencies? You should do a segment on these, and you should accept Bitcoin donations for your project!"

Ben: "I think they are terrific. unfortunately right now we are subject to kickstarter and amazon for how we fund the truth in media project"
