A propos de Civil

is a decentralized journalism marketplace. "By providing the economic incentives and governance structures for newsmakers – writers, editors, photographers, fact-checkers  –  to self-organize, Civil offers a new business model for journalism." The project is planned as a self-governing marketplace in which users can directly sponsor newsrooms, while journalists can team up to run their own publications. Also aiming to protect journalists against censorship and intellectual property disputes, Civil plans to initially focus on local news and policy and investigative reporting.
