Proposal: Building a better understanding of blockchain across mainstream global media

by everydotorg

Summary:

TRF will develop a dedicated Web3 and blockchain journalism training programme, aimed at: “Building a better understanding of blockchain across mainstream global media”. This in-depth, yet accessible course will help journalists understand how a blockchain protocol works and outline a clear definition of blockchain technology. It will support them in understanding how blockchain technology can be used as a digitally scarce asset, as a payment rail, or as a distributed ledger. The course will explore the legal, organisational and ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) challenges related to blockchain and will feature multiple existing and potential use cases of blockchain technology, beyond DeFi.

Current Progress and Comments:

The proposal highlighted the issue of training journalists in the topics of cryptocurrency beyond DeFi but many brought up the issue that journalists already have biases almost impossible to go against. Moreover, the proposal lacked important details in the budget an execution. A contested proposal which only was brought to execution thanks to a positive vote of the ChaosDAO collective and 16DG aka Giotto who still was anonymous. Months after the approval, this proposal is the most untraceable and unreachable of all so far. With any self-reporting nor replies to direct answers on public channels.
