A coalition of news organizations and journalists in various parts of the world have banded together to create a cryptocurrency to sustain funding for investigative journalism. Called PressCoin, the digital currency was made to get rid of the advertising revenue model, decentralize funding sources, and upend corporate media monopolies with collaborative content that strengthens civic participation around the world

The traditional media industry represents one symptom of the logic of extraction. Representing a heavily concentrated network of interlocking companies, tied to powerful business, defense, technology, fossil fuel, and other interests, the journalism produced by this industry did not necessarily represent quality journalism.

Numerous studies show that firstly, this system often produces narratives amenable to those business, defense, technology, fossil fuel and other interests; and secondly, the quality of reporting on major issues such as financial crisis, climate change, and global poverty has consistently been inaccurate and misleading. Worse, on foreign policy and national security, mass media journalism has often parroted propaganda in service to overlapping state and corporate interests. In other words, the traditional media has often been a major institutional promulgator of Fake News.
