CEWNOTE: A NEWS PLATFORM WITHOUT ADS

July 31, 2018

In recent times, no saying has been truer than ‘the pen is mightier than swords’. In our world driven by media contents, one could guess what would happen when the creators of these contents are not free, fair, and apolitical. Such was obtainable in the past when, due to the burden of news production, the news industry was controlled by big media conglomerates that would colour media contents to make the consumers perceive and react to such contents as they (content creators) want.
Those who understood the ‘magic bullet theory’s saw the news media as tools to influence the senses of the majority. This problem calls for the need for a platform that will provide honest, apolitical, and accurate news, devoid of government interference, for mass consumption.

The Referee blows the whistle!

(COMMENTATOR: There is a substitution here. CEWNOTE coming in for SKEWEDNOTE.)

Cewnote is the first non-governmental news platform that explores the might of the blockchain technology in the creation and transmission of news. It is an indomitable community of readers, writers, and reviewers (using decentralized network) who are poised on becoming the most credible news purveyor.

WHY BLOCKCHAIN?
One major enemy of transparency in news is dependency of advertisers. Mainstream media depends on advertisements to get revenue. This puts in the hand of advertisers some weight of power. However, Cewnote system attempts to create a self-sustaining clime for writers, readers, reviewers. That is, compensation will be gotten from the engagement of constituents of the community.
More so, Cewnote introduces a decentralized news medium built on blockchain and powered by the Cewnote token. The feature of decentralization in blockchain technology ensures that the decision of the content of Cewnote does not rest in the hand of a single source. Also, blockchain brings trust and anonymity to the system and erased the norm of having an intermediary before a transaction can be made.

WHY CEWNOTE?
Cewnote ensures conscience journalism and fearlessness in reportage.
Cewnote gives accurate stories devoid of touches from the government or societal bigwigs.
Transparency and a freer thinking press are our goals.
Absence of heavy censorship and proscription.
Editorial independence.
Easy to use, protection of users’ privacy, and provision if a fast usage system.
