Nowadays, the competition in all walks of life is fierce. Many competitors deliberately create fake news to distort the facts and conduct exaggerated propaganda. Especially, unverified rumors are more likely to be widely spread.

The project aims to crack down on misinformation and adulterated news that are harmful to both small and large publishers. The New York Times web site says, ” News consumers [who] are deceived and confused… Eventually become fatigued and apathetic to news, “the website says”. New York time will complete the first phase of the project in 2019. During that time, they will focus on user-centered research. As they describe it, the study will provide a proof of concept that describes where and how information is distributed in order to prove its authenticity and provenance. They will publish a report of their findings by the end of the year

The New York Times and IBM Garage are developing a system (proof-of-concept) to store and share contextual metadata about digital and photo files to prove their authenticity. The project aims to store “contextual metadata” of news items on the blockchain, including when and where photos were taken or video, who took them, and information about how it was edit and published

The idea, including in social media, group chat and search results, is to create a set of “signals that can be spread with published media wherever material is displayed, according to the website.
The Times plans to update the project in real time throughout the process. Eventually it will release a full report after the trial runs.
