The next speaker in the Incrypted online marathon is Cointelegraph Editor in Chief, Christina Lucretia Corner.. It will tell us about the role of mass media in the cryptocurrency space.
We should note that Cointelegraph is one of the largest news portals about cryptocurrency, oriented to the English-speaking audience.. You could say we are colleagues.
“Journalism and Web3 are closely related.. It’s one of the oldest professions, but it also has to adapt, be flexible,” Christina began.
Corner sees journalism’s role in the cryptocurrency industry as a neutral observer and a kind of “educator.”
“In a world with so much information that we are literally choking on it, the role of the media is to bring the right data to the end consumer. Because without the press he would hardly pay attention to them,” says Christina.. It is attributed to Philip Graham of the WSJ:
“Journalism is the first draft of history.”
In this context, the media are the intermediary between the information field and the consumer.. It is the press that “sifts through” the data to give the reader only the most important ones.
In an example, Incrypted CEO Ivan Pavlovsky cited the current impression of the industry in the eyes of users. Many people perceive it as a kind of fraud, also due to lack of awareness.
