Belgium – March 9, 2022 —
CryptoPol News is launching the pre-sale of its $CPNEWS token on Monday, March 7, 2022, as it builds out the infrastructure of a decentralized news ecosystem to push back against growing global restrictions to press freedom.
The initiators behind CryptoPol News project see press freedom as a key issue because, although Article 11 of the UN Charter of Fundamental Rights guarantees freedom of expression and freedom and pluralism of the media, the global situation is stark.
As Reporters Without Borders states in their annual PFI report:
“The 2021 World Press Freedom Index compiled by Reporters Without Borders (RSF) shows that journalism… is completely or partly blocked in 73% of the 180 countries ranked by the organization.”
Press Freedom Ecosystem
The $CPNEWS token will be a key element in the press freedom ecosystem that CryptoPol News is creating. Its use will incentivize both professional and citizen journalists to contribute free of both corporate and state interference.
The ecosystem, community and tools that CryptoPol are creating will allow journalists to write, independent reviewers to fact-check and edit, and the broader community to vote on the quality and reliability of news content.
According to one of the key people behind the project, who are remaining anonymous at this stage of the project:
“It is exciting to live in an era where we have the technology (blockchain)… to reflect the spirit of the UN Charter without any possible corruption or manipulation.”
The project founders believe that the anonymity, decentralization, and transparency permitted by the blockchain creates the basis for truly independent and unbiased news.
CryptoPol News’ use of a non-fiat currency, in the form of their $CPNEWS token, creates the economic incentive to motivate both professional and citizen journalists, as well as fact-checkers, editors and, finally, a “community of final say” to vote on whether a story warrants publication.
A few weeks after the $CPNEWS pre-sale, there will be a full public release on international cryptocurrency exchanges. This will be followed over the course of 2022 with the roll-out of a voting app for articles, partnership announcements, and a full launch in Q4 of 2022.
