The Associated Press will post journalism data on the blockchain – Bits Media

Independent news organization Associated Press has announced a partnership with decentralized oracle network Chainlink to host a variety of journalistic content on the blockchain..

Now developers of decentralized applications will be able to receive data almost real time. Chainlink node allows you to broadcast external data to the blockchain. We are talking about financial and sports data or, eg, data on the progress of political elections. Director of the Associated Press (AP) on blockchain and data licensing Dwayne Desaulniers (Dwayne Desaulniers)
stressed:

“As AP has become an important and trusted source of verified data around the world, we see a need to provide blockchain users with access to data and information, that they can trust. Blockchain-based networks are a fundamentally important technology, since they not only make it possible to broadcast true data, but they also demand truthfulness".

Interesting, that AP’s cooperation with the network of decentralized oracles Chainlink was reported last fall. Then the purpose of the partnership was to search for fake and unreliable news. Besides, in March of this year, the agency, in collaboration with the startup Everipedia, began publishing the results of basketball matches on the Ethereum blockchain.
