Abstract

Media production and consumption behaviors are changing in response to new technologies and demands, giving birth to a new generation of social applications. Among them, crowd journalism represents a novel way of constructing democratic and trustworthy news relying on ordinary citizens arriving at breaking news locations and capturing relevant videos using their smartphones. The ARTICONF project [1] proposes a trustworthy, resilient, and globally sustainable toolset for developing decentralized applications (DApps). Leveraging the ARTICONF tools, we introduce a new DApp for crowd journalism called MOGPlay. MOGPlay collects and manages audio-visual content generated by citizens and provides a secure blockchain platform that rewards all stakeholders involved in professional news production. Besides live streaming, MOGPlay offers a marketplace for audio-visual content trading among citizens and free journalists with an internal token ecosystem. We discuss the functionality and implementation of the MOGPlay DApp and illustrate three pilot crowd journalism live scenarios that validate the prototype.

MOGPlay:一个分散的大众新闻应用程序，用于民主新闻生产

随着新技术和新需求的出现，媒体生产和消费行为也在发生变化，催生了新一代的社交应用。其中，大众新闻代表了一种构建民主可信新闻的新方式，依靠普通公民到达突发新闻地点，用智能手机拍摄相关视频。ARTICONF项目[1]提出了一个可信赖的、有弹性的、全球可持续的工具集，用于开发分散的应用程序(DApps)。利用ARTICONF工具，我们为大众新闻推出了一个名为MOGPlay的新DApp。MOGPlay收集和管理公民生成的视听内容，并提供一个安全的区块链平台，奖励所有参与专业新闻制作的利益相关者。除了直播之外，MOGPlay还通过内部代币生态系统为公民和免费记者提供视听内容交易市场。我们讨论了MOGPlay DApp的功能和实现，并举例说明了验证原型的三个试点人群新闻直播场景。
