Have you tired of fake or manipulative news (well that sounded like tv ad)? What if there is a way every new article to be reviewed not by 1 editor but by many? Verifying it's content and facts. News in a pure form ( hopefully ). That is what DNN Media promises. I accidentally learned about them yesterday and reviewed the information provided by them. So far, it is looking good and I like the idea.
So what exactly is DNN Media?
DNN Media is fairly new company. The short description on their website is "DNN, or Decentralized News Network, is a political news platform, combining news creation with decentralized networks to deliver factual content, curated by the community. News by the people, for the people."
So basically, writers produce and submit content, which is inspected for accuracy by a randomized set of reviewers on the network. Those articles which are approved according the DNN guidelins will be published to the network and made available to readers.
We are tired of fake news, news which tries to manipulate and succeed manipulating some. The most important in their idea is that there isnt hierarchical control over what news to be published and in what form, but instead the community check and decides, based upon the accuracy and legitimacy of the news. What's more the news are not kept on one place, but instead on the Ethereum blockchain, guaranteeing that they aren't going to be suppressed after posting.
Everybody is allowed to contribute. According to DNN "Users can seamlessly switch between reader, writer, and reviewer roles in a fluid and open environment.". So you are not restricted to only participate in one way.
The service will have functionallity allowing the reviewer to provide feedback to the content creator.
Not only that, but all users can profit
Of course, they will have their own currency called DNN. Which are going to be distributed in proportion to a contributor's effort. Writers, reviewers and readers will have opportunity to earn them.
More about DNN
Their goals are high "We aspire to become the most trusted and democratic political news alternative to mainstream media.". Is it possible? We will see.
Whitepaper is available and they are working already on their product. Wait, before the ICO? Crazy, right? Soon we will have opportunity to take a peek at their Alpha version. The date for that is scheduled for June 30th, which is very close.
What about the team?
They have decent sized team for starting company. 5 people are mentioned on their site. Two co-founders and 3 developers from company called Devana. All of them have multiple years working in the field of design, software and web development. So we will see what they will come up with.
But when is the ICO?
There is no information for upcoming ICO, but their goal for the moment seems to be the release of their Alpha version and possibly after that they will start planning one.
