I'm an independent freelance journalist and I've been closely watching the new blockchain projects that are trying to do just this (Civil is most interesting to me; but others I'm watching are DNN, PUBLIC on the DECENT network, Po.et, and of course--Steemit). I hadn't heard of the way Lighting Network might allow this--thanks for your post, and I'll read into it. From the startups I've researched, Po.et seems closest to what you're describing. It would allow existing publishers to use a plugin to their CMS, or even Wordpress, to publish content to the po.et blockchain, which has a token called POE. I've written a bit more about all these j-blockchain projects here: http://wampumweek.com/2018/03/04/might-blockchain-tech-disrupt-media-lets-take-look-journalism-blockchain-startups/

Congratulations @cryptoeagle!

i hope you gift me upvote this my post....thank you

I am happy to see, read and enjoy your post amazingly innovative. Thanks for sharing.

How is Lightning Network not just a glorified sidechain?  I've been invested in Bitcoin since 2011 and I still can't understand how LN can solve the scaling issue if one can only send payments to another on the same LN channel without incurring transaction fees. Addresses on the same channel are only a tiny subset of total addresses. And if bitcoin CAN be sent intrachannel without fees, HOW??

Congratulations @cryptoeagle, this post is the ninth most rewarded post (based on pending payouts) in the last 12 hours written by a Hero account holder (accounts that hold between 10 and 100 Mega Vests). The total number of posts by Hero account holders during this period was 341 and the total pending payments to posts in this category was $4942.64.

"While one argument is the lack of revenue creating a lack of investigative journalism, another noteworthy argument is that in today’s society if you're not first, you're last. Prior to the social media revolution, the internet, and even radio, news was aired during primetime hours only. Therefore, news companies had time to investigate before it was time to report on the story. Today, news is streamed 24/7, 365 days a year. Therefore, news companies are feeling pressured to report the source first! Which in turn results in short cuts, exaggerations, catchy headlines, etc. With that being said, the real question is will users be willing to pay pennies for news AND patiently wait for quality content? 

As everything becomes digitized, paying online is becoming the only option. No more checks and certainly no more cash. But with that, credit card sales that are under a couple dollars are not worth the hassle due to fees companies have to pay to credit card companies, such as Visa. We think micropayments offer great advantages for organizations and consumers alike. From crowdfunding, donations for charity, educational services, and of course, online content. 

[Lightning Network](https://blockbasis.com/help/digital-currency/what-is-the-lightning-network/) is doing just that by allowing high-volume micro-payments on the Bitcoin network. Only time will tell what companies will require micro-payments in exchange for their services."

Es bastante interesante, sin embargo convertiria a las noticias de calidad en un producto consumible unicamente por un sector de la poblacion que posee bitcoins. Si bien Bloomberg tiene un estimado de 12 millones de visitas diarias, lo mas probable es que solo una fraccion de esos 12 millones tenga criptomonedas. De igual forma los paises desarrollados serian los que tendrian un mayor acceso a noticias ya que  en paises en vias de desarrollo, como Venezuela, pagar tan solo un centavo por noticia representa un costo significativo (es sumamente dificil acceder a divisas y todo un reto poseer bitcoins)
 Asi mismo, Las noticias mas relevantes para la sociedad (por ejemplo un cambio de gobierno, llamado a elecciones) deberian de permanecer gratuitas .
It is quite interesting. however, it would turn quality news into a consumable product only for a sector of the population that owns bitcoins. While Bloomberg has an estimated 12 million daily visits, most likely only a fraction of those 12 million have cryptocurrencies. Similarly developed countries would be those who would have greater access to news because in developing countries, such as Venezuela, paying just one cent per news represents a significant cost (it is extremely difficult to access foreign currency and a challenge to own bitcoins)
 Likewise, the most relevant news for society (for example a change of government, call for elections) should remain free.

I am negative on this idea, though. Applying micropayment to the current business model of newspapers will make no difference. Considering some risks such as abusing refunds, this approach may impact very little in terms of revenue and low-quality articles. Finally, there is no guarantee that more money would make the journalism clean and better. But it was nice to see that there are people who think about ways to make better journalism, since I am very interested in it. Keep good work, cheers!

Actually, a news media platform 'Blendle' from Netherlands seems very similar to your idea. I do not think Blendle dominates or makes a significant impact on new media industry in overall, however you can find many analysis or articles on this service. It must be interesting to you!

So far bitcoin seems like a digital gold for right now, and maybe someday if fiat really proves to be a destruction to financial system , then bitcoin would be the alternative currency especially to those developing countries. :)

While this could be a great help, especially to get some good investigative journalism again like you say, it won't do anything on it's own, it's not just money issues why journalism is failing. It's activism. And I think that's responsible for way more bias (in other words: fake news) than anything due to lack of good funding. Corruption was always an issue, even at the height of print journalism, and clickbait is an even bigger issue, but it all pales in comparison to just journalist's own personal bias when it comes to fake news.

You see more and more journalists in their social media profile proudly proclaim they are activists, some even embarrassingly calling themselves "journactivist" or some variation of that. They believe they are lying for a good cause and that the ends justify the means. Not limited to any one country either. I've seen that in the US as much as I'm seeing it here in Germany.

I think if you want to make journalism good again (if it ever was good, which I'm not convinced of, with all the information of the internet at our disposal it's just a lot easier to find out when they lie), you need to come up with something completely new. Maybe crowdsourced fact checking built into the site that shows you articles from multiple sources about every news story, stuff like that. It's too easy for journalists to lie, so make it harder.

Comments were kind of like a very basic form of that, especially when you can upvote comments so the interesting ones make it to the top, but more and more news sites are turning off comments. According to them it's because of too much "harassment" but I don't buy that, comment sections were always "toxic" and nobody cared, now decades later it's suddenly a huge problem? They just don't want to get called out for lying or getting things wrong in fear of losing readers.

Time is also a big issue. News need to be fast or they aren't news anymore, but that means less time for research, so sometimes when a journalist gets it completely wrong it's not really his or her fault, just an underlying problem of the way the news business works. That could maybe be helped by journalists being more open about their ignorance. Just saying "This is a developing news story, some things might turn out to be wrong when more information is available" and then when the article is updated, clearly pointing out what was wrong before, why that misunderstanding happened and what the truth turned out to be. If you're honest about it, making a mistake is nothing to be ashamed of, journalists need to realize that.

Yes!

Hehehe, Trump's campaign really made his effect on you guys... i see like 10 posts a day with the "great again" thingy on them.
Cheers, nice content!

Lightning network was introduced several months ago and it will surely speedup the transactions within the blockchain since the network processing will be done outside the block chain and if all datas were verified by the miner then its time to return it back to the blockchain for data transmission. 

Currently, every block have only 1mb size with 7 txn per sec while in the lightning network we can do multiple txn with bigger data size.

Nice write up... Thanks for telling the world

Existence of fakeness is what  makes us thrive for what is right. But we need to work ourselves to find the truth in something.

Hello, nice to meet you! Would you help me get 5 steem in a post for a task please 🤝
https://steemit.com/steem/@fannyc/4h5ktq-hi

Good job.

People are used to getting everything ‘free’. News is free, social media is free, virtually everything on the internet is free (and paid for through aggressive marketing and ads aimed at those who use the services). Convincing people to sign up to a different model where they have to actually pay for the content they consume will be a big ask.

I think it would, this article of yours looks like a product of investigative journalism and i just read it through and commented thereby making you some steem bucks. So i guess the answer is yes...

This journalism idea seems very similar to the Steemit platform. The only difference it seems is that you automatically pay-per-click on whatever article you read. Great post!

For future viewers: price of bitcoin at the moment of posting is 8884.40USD

Yes because An easy micropayment system for digital content could help save journalism by allowing people to pay a few pennies for an article or edition of a newspaper rather than having news sites become totally beholden to advertisers. An inventor of the pop-up ad, recently lamented, forcing journalists to cater to advertisers' needs was the "original sin" of the web.

Great job done by you.im impressed..good initiative to exposer to all..it will helpfull to the new users too.
thanks for such a good topics

Once people will flock to decentralized media, these websites will earn even less. Do you guys think advertisers and big websites could buy Steem tokens and other decentralized currencies in a panic of FOMO? What are your thoughts?

Will people choose micropayments, which come directly from their pocket, over systems in which the payments come from a rewards pool generated by inflation, as with Steem? I know what I'd choose.

Oh wait, Steem actually already has BOTH options built in. Hmm...

I never bored while i am reading your post. You know how to present a difficult subject in a simple & interesting way. Thank you so much for taking the time to post this information, it will help a lots of people to understand how Bitcoin’s Lightning Network can help journalism. Thanks again for taking the time to post this information. Its always good to know that someone is trying hard to make this world a better & beautiful world. 

@ upvoted & @resteem

@cryptoeagle bitcoin future is bright along with steem but steem value is going down very fast which is a poor sign of inflation.
