An Introduction to 'Civil' - A New Journalism Platform Based on Blockchainand Cryptoecomonics7/11/2018 INVITATION FROM OVERSEAS PRESS CLUB
MEMBERS OF THE FOREIGN PRESS ASSOCIATION ARE INVITED TO JOIN THIS EVENT. DATE: July 11 TIME: 6:30 p.m. LOCATION: Club Quarters, 40 West 45th Street, New York Imagine you could take everything you don’t like about journalism – from broken business models to trolls to bad actors – and put them in a box for a minute. Just for a minute. Now imagine building a decentralized platform that’s in service of journalism – essentially starting all over again in the current media climate. What would that look like? And how do blockchain and cryptoeconomics provide a foundation for a platform that’s driven by journalism, supported by developers and owned by the people? In a nutshell, that’s Civil. Please join Daniel Sieberg, a former OPC Governor who is a co-founder and business development lead at Civil, to learn more about this new global eco-system that is launching this summer and needs help from the broader industry to collaboratively create a sustainable future. Sieberg previously served as global head of media outreach at Google
