The project aims to create a global blockchain-powered news publishing platform that fairly rewards all of its participants and serves as a realistic and economically viable model for publishers to adopt and build on. The objective is to significantly enhance the existing media structure to make it self-sustaining.
Market Demand:
Newspapers have traditionally relied on revenues from print advertising and subscriptions, but over the years, the industry has seen a transition from a print-based economy to a digital one. In 2017, the digital advertisement market was valued at around $230 billion and is expected to reach $335 billion by 2020. However the market is dominated by a small handful of large social networks and general-purpose search engines (Facebook and Google accounted for 60-70% of the advertising market in the USA), much to the exclusion of newspapers.
The legacy model of the newspaper industry, with its high reliance on advertising revenue, has lost its relevance in the ‘post-truth’ era. Added to this are other key problems which the industry faces at large including fragmented readership, unverified or fake news, and increased competition resulting from media deregulation and consolidation, among others.
PUBLISH will address these issues by essentially creating an enhanced media ecosystem comprising of news content producers, community editors, advertisers, and ultimate consumers or readers.
The PUBLISH alliance is a consortium of media enterprises, technology providers and academic institutions tasked with a mission of revitalising the media industry through blockchain technology.
Publishers joining the PUBLISH Alliance are provided with a full news feed in real time, with approximately 40 blockchain-related news articles and 100 breaking headlines produced by professional in-house reporters and blockchain experts on a daily basis. Aggregated price information for major cryptocurrency trading pairs is also available through the PUBLISH service.
NEWS is PUBLISH’s proprietary token that will be used for every transaction within its news ecosystem.
