Blockchain brings trust back to media in the age of fakenews — Part III
The story continues, along with remaining three companies you will way through the way of today’s social, and media trends.
Zloadr
“Zloadr is a revolutionizing blockchain publishing platform that allows content creators to connect, earn, reach and sell their content to a wide and demanding audience”.
Zloadr is a full blockchain publishing platform for creators of all kind , to
come together to make, produce and sell their content to a wide and global audience without losing valuable income.
With over 450K articles and 21K publications successfully created and distributed on the beta platform alone the viability of the idea is not a question any more. They developed a smart contract technology within the platform using the Ethereum blockchain.
It stands in their whitepaper, and, it is indeed true: New and existing content creators nowadays, discover there are several factors that will determine if they are to survive and earn enough revenue to keep successfully, doing what they set out to. That was one of the problems the founders of Reporter were also trying to find a solution for. Offering a decentralized, simple, and easy to use platform, for content creators, connecting them directly to a vast amount of potential buyers.
Snip
“Snip is a decentralized, user-generated news platform, where anyone can write a “snip” a story of their choice, and read news on the issues they care about “
The platform, is powered by the community, with members writing stories, voting on the best ones, engaging in discussions, and rewarding contributors with tokens.
The community feedback gives writers an incentive to create high quality content.
The Snip platform features a new Ethereum based (ERC20) token named — you guessed it — SnipCoin, wich is used to buy products on the Snip network and to reward content contributors. Their mission is: to create a community based, decentralized, user-generated news platform based on Ethereum. Another similarity to Reporter. Can’t be a coincidence. (not crypto coin! Go and watch some nature documentaries — once you finished reading ofc.)
Picter
“Our approach with Picter is to bring an end to these highly time-consuming parts of image data logistics”
For both photographers and organizations working with images Picter offers a platform where organizations can host their call for entries.They can review work online, evaluate submissions together in a team and track their entries. Photographers upload their projects, choose from a list of open calls and submit their work with a few clicks. There are several problems our approach tackles: so far, photographers have to do the same repetitive tasks of resizing, sending from A to B and so forth over and over again, which creates an unmanageable and uncontrollable amount of duplicates of the same projects — says the founder.
Their approach is to bring an end to these highly time-consuming parts of image data logistics. With Picter — and Reporter — images are securely stored and the creator or owner of the files only gives access to them. An organization who was granted access now can easily review, evaluate and sort the entries, remotely, as a team. In this process, no duplicate has been created, so for everyone using Picter -and Reporter.
Summary
Blockchain publishing, decentralized news, image data logistics.
All on Reporter’s banner. Reporter Community, is organised in a way it is decentralized, free to access- a news channel for anyone using a smart phone. If you see anything interesting, or newsworthy using this app, you can share it with the world via news agencies and media. And you get paid. In the meantime, Reporter’s very own encrypting method validates your content, using numerous sensor data, and sends the validation data to blockchain. The publisher is safe, content exclusivity and validity is granted, and the user is paid for its work. How this can revolutionize news providing, and what other potentials our system hold?
As you can see, our business operation is built upon the philosophy of sharing economy, in our case that shares the resources of the user (mobile phone, presence) with media professionals (demand of content). The success of the business model can be projected as we contact partners of demand and offer in a unique and very simple way.
The buyer side’s biggest issue -in case of the main source of UGC the social media — that they cannot catch up with the amount being published in a non-standard architecture, further more if they find something useful it is hard or even impossible to find and to contact the owner of the content to get publishing rights, not to mention the habit of people overvaluing their product once there is a demand for it. Reporter gives a simple answer to all these issues with our tagging and searching method, the pre-set fixed price and validating process. We have to emphasize authenticity as fake news is now a very hot topic worldwide. Although classic fake news is created on purpose to mislead the audience or to attract more clicks, fake as in forged is a real problem for news providers when it comes to UGC.
With cryptography-based blockchain technology, the Reporter App and platform can develop a 100% verified authentication process offering tremendous competitive advantage to all market players.
As the user count, and the uploaded content count grows, thanks to our universal tagging system, the database will function as a stock photo and vide marketplace too. Our system can also serve major building projects, or any project that requires photographic documentation securely stored.
Oh, and we have our tokensales on
