Join us in exploring new ways to protect journalism’s most important documents for the future
DocumentCloud, supported by the Filecoin Foundation, is using the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) network and Filecoin to ensure long-term preservation and distribution of documents. IPFS’s decentralized nature enhances censorship resistance and privacy, while Filecoin provides incentives for data storage and sharing. DocumentCloud’s Push to IPFS Add-On facilitates easy integration with IPFS/Filecoin for secure and enduring document access.
For the Record: MuckRock and Cicero Independiente awarded at MIT for their “Air We Breathe” series
Reporters for both organizations were present at the awards ceremony at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
