The news industry is in crisis. Traditional ad models have not transitioned well to the digital world and many newspapers have closed their doors. Clickbait has risen as the pressure to get views at any price rises and quality suffers. People trust the media less and less, which has made it increasingly easy for special interests to manipulate public opinion.
But Civil, a new startup, wants to help solve these problems by creating a new model for news — powered by the blockchain — that empowers a community to restore trust and accountability to the news.
