About GeoNewsChain

Empowering Citizens, Informing Journalists

The Idea

GeoNewsChain reflects the key aspects of the proposed project – geolocation (Geo), news (News) and blockchain technology (Chain). The start-up relies on the use of modern technologies, such as GNSS and blockchain, to create a platform that allows citizens to post photos and short descriptions of local events. Each photo will be automatically geotagged and located on a map. Professional journalists will have the option to purchase subscriptions to access the platform, allowing them to receive quick updates on new news.

The final product we want to offer is a system for registering and sharing news about events called GeoNewsChain. The proposed system will allow citizens to share photos and information about local events, while providing professional journalists with quick and reliable access to this data. GeoNewsChain will be in the form of a mobile application and a website, accessible on various devices.

Journalists require quick access to information about local events. This is crucial for timely reporting and staying abreast of developing stories. GeoNewsChain’s platform, which allows citizens to post photos and descriptions of local events, addresses this need by providing journalists with instant access to grassroots-level news.

The Values

Credibility and Transparency

In an era of misinformation and ‘fake news’, journalists seek reliable and transparent sources. GeoNewsChain’s use of blockchain technology ensures the authenticity and immutability of the content. This feature is critical for journalists who rely on the accuracy of the information they gather and report.

Rapid Access to Local Events Information

Ease of Use and Accessibility

The user interface for any journalistic tool needs to be intuitive and accessible. GeoNewsChain, being available both as a mobile app and a website, offers flexibility in accessing the platform across various devices, which is a significant advantage for journalists who work both in the field and in the office.

Innovative Use of Space Technologies

In the GeoNewsChain project, the service requirements for users and customers are particularly focused on the utilization of additional GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) location-related data. This data is essential for verifying the reliability of the information entered into the system.

Data Security and Privacy Compliance

With the increasing focus on data privacy laws like GDPR, journalists require assurance that the platforms they use comply with these regulations. GeoNewsChain’s focus on data security and privacy compliance is a crucial requirement for journalists.

Innovative

In summary, GeoNewsChain addresses several key requirements of modern journalists by providing rapid access to verified local news, engaging community participation, ensuring data reliability and security, and offering a user-friendly interface that is accessible across multiple devices. These features collectively enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of journalistic practices in the digital age.
