PUBLIQ: Reshaping the Media industry
The Media environment is currently shaped on the one hand by centralized institutions censoring a high portion of the contents and on the other hand by a massive flow of low quality user generated content. A dangerous over centralization subsists on a market where unfair remunerations and poor customer experience are constantly on the rise
PUBLIQ is a blockchain-powered non profit foundation that places authors at the center of the publishing and digital media industry by offering them an efficient and reliable ecosystem to interact and thrive in. Authors have access to a free, secure and censorship resistant platform where they can upload their writings, protect them adequately within the latest blockchain architecture and have them thereafter safely distributed. Intermediaries or traditional publishing house’s control, who used to dominate the author in his or her work, are removed from the chain of creation and distribution.
PUBLIQ’s instant rewarding process encourages and incentivizes authors to share their talents with the world. Rewards are hence assigned to authors depending of their reputation exclusively shaped from the readers’ views and feedback. This unique evaluation system is allowing authors to be more fairly rewarded, as well as praised or celebrated for their good work.
