Award-winning tv anchor Angie Lau just launched forkast.news and she shared some of her insights in her recent interview with the Foreign Correspondents Club,
Angie talked about blockchain and agreed that blockchain had been tainted by its association with wild cryptocurrency price swings, scams, tax evasion, and money laundering:
“The resources to actually verify [blockchain projects] and do deep dives doesn’t currently exist within the framework of traditional newsrooms,” she said.
“Those aren’t the only stories that are relevant,” she said. “There are a lot of superficial headlines out there, and that’s great, it’s all part of the same ecosystem, but it is not the only part. I want to elevate understanding.”
