Abstract

The emergence of the blockchain, earlier blockchain technology, and cryptocurrency has changed the way the world deals with commerce [1]. The success of blockchain in cryptoeconomics has led to its application in many domains. This left people with a blockchain as a way to achieve consensus and security in a peer-to-peer application for any class of asset. In this article, we propose the application of blockchain technology to journalism. It is essential because it allows us to maintain archives that cannot be censored or altered after the fact.
