Documented also operates on Civil, an innovative platform that uses blockchain technology to improve the landscape of original journalism. Our partnership with Civil is based on two main advantages: 1) Publishing on the blockchain ensures that our stories are permanently saved and safeguarded against censorship; 2) The blockchain promotes a governance system that rewards high-quality journalism and makes our newsroom accountable directly to our readers. This is possible through the Civil protocol, which upholds the ethical journalism principles outlined in the Civil Constitution.
