One day to the launch and reminder of our mission!

As we said a few times in the last week, we have been fortunate with the advisors and supporters we were able to attract. A day before the ICO when your head is spinning it is great to get a reminder on why we are doing this! Thanks John Paton for this message!

If the news business is going to survive then it is going to have to take risks.

For me, after 40 years of being in the industry I love, the biggest risk of all is to do nothing. That is why I have agreed to become Chair of the Executive Advisory Board of Hubii Network.

The Hubii Network, harnessing the power of blockchain technology, is a better business model for journalism. It shows the potential of working with the crowd for intelligent sourcing of journalism and distribution at scale.

The smart code in the planned Hubiit token will allow for complete transparency and verification — an important tool in battling fake news.That same smart contract combined with the tokens set the terms and conditions of usage and, best of all, allow frictionless payment via the token.

It isn’t a tweak on the old model that journalism needs it is a new one. The Hubii Network is such a new model.
