JournoDAO is opening up some experimental new features! In the interest of solidifying our professional network of journalists, we are launching the JournoDAO Directory to serve as a hub for communications and individual outreach. We will use this form to accept applicants for our directory, asking for certain necessary information

Vacation has ended, the decorations are back in the attic, waistlines have expanded, and roadmaps are flying here in web3 land. We hope you all had a lovely holiday break and spent some much needed time with loved ones. Or at least enjoyed a few quiet holidays with your favorite

As we roll towards another round of Holiday goodness, the JournoDAO crew is heads down on all the things— podcast production, grant writing, coding, reporting, investigating and researching. We hope everyone is approaching their Holiday time by shifting gears to enjoy the slow and sweet moments of this season. All

Last week we all took some quiet time to spend with our families, friends and ourselves to reflect upon and celebrate the things in our lives that make us grateful. At JournoDAO, we are truly grateful for so much, but first and foremost, we are filled with gratitude over the

The last two weeks have been filled with the catastrophic fallout from yet another crypto bank going under. We've been marveling at the insane greed and malicious ineptitude from a group of degens who managed to dupe millions into giving them billions through a centralized exchange – an exchange they then

We somehow blew right through October and landed in November! Where does the time actually go? Our team has been super busy building the foundations of JournoDAO and the ecosystem at large. No small feat, right? Here’s the short and the sweet of our work the past two weeks

The winds of seasonal change are blowing and JournoDAO is ready for all the goodness that comes with such a breeze. As the days get shorter and we all naturally retract into our cocoons of warmth and reflection, we have quite a bit of building to keep us active through

JournoDAO was on the road last week spreading the decentralization goodness to a conference filled with online journalists in LA! Part of our mission was to educate as many journalists as possible about web3 and, in the process, bring as many curious and willing souls into the web3 ecosystem as

As I type this, various members of the DAO are traveling to LA for the Online News Association's yearly conference. I'll be joining them shortly. Our talk is on Thursday (tomorrow) and we'll post it in the next update if it's recorded and made available: Even if Web3 Is Full

The evolution of DAOs and their ability to survive the turmoil of our volatile eco system seems to rely on one pinnacle element that many founders fail to anticipate when building a community through decentralization. Our collective humanity. When we strip away the complexities of the technological foundations of a

Ok, so we were invited, which doesn't quite count as crashing, and the bombs dropped were made of pure knowledge and vibes, but the event wasn't the usual Web3 or Blockchain conference filled with true believers who pitch their tents in the same rabbit hole each night. Media Party is

The big news of the week is our presence at Media Party in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Our own Eric Mack is representing us and running several events during the self-proclaimed "most important media innovation conference in all of Latin America." Eric's report from the first day was very positive. We're

Another week has flown by in this steaming hot summer and more Founders NFTs made their way into our community member’s wallets. We are so damn excited to have our Founder NFT #2 minted by Matt Gray the CEO of Photure! Matt first hopped into our server a few

Yesterday we finally launched our Founder NFT and opened up the mint to the public. And to our ecstatic surprise, we already had our first mint! Who is this rebel who flaunted our clear instructions NOT to mint the NFT? It is none other than Evan Hansen, a Director of

What do you get when you mint the new JournoDAO Founder NFT? Nothing. And … well … everything. Founder NFT holders get access to everything JournoDAO has done and will ever do. Events, educational content, airdrops, schwag, private research groups, IRL JournoDAO co-working spaces, our job board, our professional network, our writing

You don't have to be a journalist to practice and benefit from the skill of journalism.

When the news cycle (and our democracy) flies off the rails like we’ve seen in the past seven days, our mission at JournoDAO becomes ensconced in a sense of urgency. As the framework of our democracy buckles under the weight of disinformation and weaponized algorithms, the necessity of healthy
