Short thesis
Description
Neben den zentralisierten Plattformen mit uneingeschränkter Kontrolle wie Facebook und Google entstehen zum Beispiel dezentralisierte Publishingtools basierend auf Blockchains, die von niemandem mehr kontrolliert werden können. Ein Löschen wird somit unmöglich. Andernorts entstehen Netzwerke, die mittels einer Blockchain Informationen validieren und Quellen ranken. Welche Potentiale stecken also in Blockchains für Medienunternehmen? Was kann die Technologie leisten? Kann sich Blockchain-Publishing zu einer Alternative zu den großen Plattformen zu entwickeln? Wie kann eine Blockchain das Vertrauen in die Medien stärken? Welche anderen Anwendungsfälle gibt es?

Block chain for media. TrustBroker, distribution or merely a topic?
Block chains are firing the imagination of the financial industry. Trust is created via the network, there is no central entity. However, block chains have uses reaching far beyond transactions or a cryptocurrency. Besides centralised platforms with unlimited control such as Facebook and Google, there are emerging publishing tools based on block chains, for example, which cannot be controlled by anyone anymore. Deletion becomes an impossibility. Elsewhere, networks are emerging which validate information and rank sources using a block chain. What is the potential in block chains for media companies? What is this technology capable of? Can block chain publishing develop into an alternative to huge platforms? How can a block chain reinforce trust in media? What other application scenarios are there?
