The second largest publication in the United States, the New York Times (NYT), opened a vacancy for the developer of the concept of using blockchain for publishing purposes.
So, the publication is in search of a specialist who is ready to conduct a blockchain experiment for 12 months as part of the research department.
At the same time, NYT intends to share its vision with other media, as well as form a kind of consortium around the project. NYT also plans to attract advisers from news organizations, academia and social media.
Earlier, Civil startup, developing a blockchain platform for journalists, announced the return of funds to investors due to the failure to reach the ICO softcap.
