The New York Times will explore the possibilities of the blockchain for publishing purposes.

The second largest publication in the United States, the New York Times (NYT), has opened a vacancy for a developer of the concept of blockchain application for publishing purposes.

Thus, the publication is looking for a specialist who is ready to conduct a blockchain experiment for 12 months as part of the research department.

At the same time, NYT intends to share its vision with other media as well as form a kind of consortium around the project. NYT also plans to attract advisors from news organizations, academia and social media.

Earlier, Civil startup, developing a blockchain platform for journalists, announced the return of funds to investors due to the failure of the ICO softkap.

Note that in October 2018, Forbes, one of the world's leading business publications, concluded an agreement with the operator of the Civil platform to test the blockchain's capabilities. Cooperation with the NYT, Dow Jones and the Washington Post at a startup failed.
