INTRO TO BLOCKCHAIN FOR JOURNALISM
with David Moore
Class meets Wednesday, Nov. 28 from 6:30 to 8:30 pm
The cost for this workshop is $25
Blockchain, the technology behind cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin may have some applications for journalism. Some technology & media leaders feel that the decentralized nature of blockchain & its public ledgers of changes made could solve a few problems for journalists. At the forefront of this experiment is Civil, a new blockchain-based platform for news. David Moore is the co-founder of Sludge, one of the publications on Civil focused on covering Washington lobbies.
In this workshop, David will explain:
What are blockchains & how they work,
How blockchains could help with integrity of news stories, micropayments for writers & more,
And what blockchains proponents think this could mean for the future of journalism & media.
Level: Beginner
