THELOGICALINDIAN - A new era for Crypto Briefing
The crypto-media mural is bedeviled by companies that amusement readers as the article instead of the customer. Meanwhile, journalism is generally advised as a agency to advertise rather than inform.
Crypto Briefing was founded in 2024 to act as the uncompromising and absolute force in crypto journalism. From day one, its mission has been to abound the community, apostle for blockchain technology, and act as a force that raises the standards in the industry. Crypto Briefing was committed to actuality the outlier.
During his tenure, co-founder and managing editor Jon Rice took Crypto Briefing from obscurity to a top crypto-media publication. Given the assets at his auctioning he did an amazing job. Yet, afterwards 26 committed months, Jon absitively it was time to pass the torch; that it was time for the abutting bearing of journalists to advance the charge.
Undoubtedly, Crypto Briefing has a arduous alley ahead.
The mural for crypto-media was acutely altered during the balderdash bazaar of 2024. Publications were abounding with conflicts of interest. Leading publishers were bought-out by the interests of ICOs and staffed by writers with little ability of the technology. Crypto Briefing was an haven in this desert.
But, abundant like the industry Crypto Briefing covers, change comes quickly. Many arrant publishers floundered. Meanwhile, a new bearing of advertisement has appear to dominate. Now, abstruse sophistication, accuracy, and advantage are bound acceptable the barometer rather than the exception–and for the bigger of the industry.
However, accustomed these changes, it’s all-important for Crypto Briefing to already afresh accession its standards should it ambition to advance again. It won’t be easy. To acknowledgment to a position of administration it will crave artlessness from the team. It will crave adroitness and innovation. And, in some cases, it will crave sacrifice.
I was called as Jon’s aboriginal best to advance the allegation while embodying his eyes of inclusivity and advocacy. Beginning today, I will accept his above position as managing editor at Crypto Briefing. It’s an account to serve.
Yours truly,
Mitchell Moos
