Next speaker within online marathon from Incrypted – Editor-in-Chief of Cointelegraph Cristina Lucrezia Corner. She will tell us about the role of mass media in the cryptocurrency space.
Note that Cointelegraph is one of the largest news portals about cryptocurrency, focused on the English-speaking audience. We can say that we are colleagues.
“Journalism and Web3 are closely related. This is one of the oldest professions, but at the same time, it must adapt, be flexible,” Kristina began her speech.
How can mass media accelerate the global adoption of Web3?
Korner sees the role of journalism in the development of the cryptocurrency industry as a neutral observer and a kind of “teacher”.
“In a world where there is so much information that we are literally drowning in it, the role of the media comes down to conveying the data he needs to the end consumer. Because without the press, he would hardly have paid attention to them, ”Kristina believes.
Also note that she gave an interesting quote. It is attributed to Philip Graham of the WSJ:
“Journalism is the first draft of history.”
In the context of this, the mass media act as a kind of intermediary between the information field and the consumer. It is the press that “sifts” the data in order to provide the reader with only the most important of them.
As an example, Incrypted CEO Ivan Pavlovsky cited the current impression of the industry in the eyes of users. Many perceive it as a kind of fraud, including due to a lack of awareness.
Note that WhiteBIT CEO, who also took part in the Incrypted online marathon, spoke about the same. More details at the link.
The Importance of Dialogue
It is interactions that Christina calls the main factor in the development of Web3. She cited the UAE as an example, where government agencies cooperate at all levels in order to achieve strategic goals.
