Brad, Marce, MichelleZ, and Verbiricha host a panel about what journalism can look like on a Nostr standard.
a new paradigm for journalism, enabling journalists to circumvent censorship (both of speech and finances), build direct relationships with readers, and establish more equitable revenue models independent of advertising.
Journalists from regions with strict government control highlighted Nostr's ability to facilitate free communication and financial transactions, bypassing restrictions on speech and money transfers.
potential for Nostr's "zap" feature (instant micropayments) to create direct revenue streams for journalists, bypassing reliance on advertising and potentially leading to more independent and reader-driven content.
The discussion challenged traditional notions of journalism, suggesting that talent and effective communication are more crucial than formal journalism training. Nostr’s decentralized nature allows for greater creative freedom and a wider range of voices.
The overall sentiment was optimistic, with panelists envisioning a future where Nostr fosters more independent, reader-funded journalism, less reliant on advertising and therefore less susceptible to bias, while empowering journalists in censored environments.
