"THE FUTURE OF JOURNALISM" - A Steemit Exclusive Interview with @suzi3d re: Censorship, Propaganda & the Blockchain.
I first connected with Suzie Dawson, journalist, activist and leader of the Internet Party of New Zealand, on my Steemit page. We had a shared interest in supporting musicians make the shift over to blockchain based technology and finding alternate sources of income in a streaming-based industry.
As I delved a little deeper into what Suzie is all about, I decided I really need to ask her some questions about some of the larger concepts around blockchain based journalism and why she is an advocate for alternative media moving to Steemit.
Honestly, this was a mind-expanding conversation for me. Whatever your personal politics are, it is unquestionable that in this day and age the freedom of the press must be protected and supported.
I hope you find this interview as enlightening as I did. Please follow @suzi3d and show your support.
I am @benleemusic and excited to continue sharing BIG IDEAS with you.

All of the Big-Boys are becoming heavily regulated and censored. They all want to give in to any group that makes some noise and threatens to yell and chant and accuse them of being something politically incorrect.
Now that they've got their big fat stock options, they don't want to do anything that will rock the boat.
So much for being trail-blazers.
Perhaps its the nature of aging or something, but for now its refreshing to see some serious disruption occurring.
invite on and interview @caitlinjohnstone next ! One of her recent Steemit posts got retweeted by WikiLeaks recently.

If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.

When they have the monopoly, they gonna exploit vulnerable people , they are so powerful that they can even manipulate the prices of cryptos. We, steemians, will provide a better alternative solution to that.
That is the idea! Fingers crossed :)

Thank you @benleemusic for enlightening us on this topic. I am so glad that I found out about Steemit couple of months ago. Posts like this have made me dependent on this platform.
This is enlightening, and you are so right in saying that press freedom should be protected and supported.
Yes I think these alternative media journalists are doing important work.
