Blockchain technology has been regarded as a disruptive new technology from its very beginning. Various blockchain platforms, such as one featuring a public chain, or a private chain, or an alliance chain, are built for the news industry. With its unique technological features, it helps the journalism industry rebuild a transparent production chain...

... encryption. Unlike symmetric encryption, which uses the same secret key to encrypt and decrypt sensitive information, asymmetric encryption, also known as public-key cryptography or public-key encryption, uses mathematically linked public-and private-key pairs to encrypt and decrypt senders' and recipients' sensitive data, see Figure 4. Asymmetric cryptography techniques allow for extremely secure communication between two parties. ...

... Concerns regarding hidden biases within algorithms (Diakopoulos 2015) propelled researchers to develop algorithmic transparency models. While some proposed blockchain technology to make digital journalism more transparent (Hou 2023), Diakopoulos and Koliska (2017) mapped various avenues for information disclosure along the flow of information through an algorithmic system to the end user. This "input-output pipeline describes crucial stages and aspects of information that are fed into a system (data), transformed (model), output as a classification or predicted score (inference), and presented to the end-user (interface)" (Diakopoulos and Koliska 2017, 818). ...
News organizations have turned to news automation to innovate specific processes in the newsroom. Despite the many advantages for news organizations in producing innovative news content, the news automation process is opaque and often not easily accessible for news consumers-undermining the core journalistic ethic of transparency. In this case study we examine how institutional dynamics shape internal and external algorithmic transparency practices at The Washington Post. Our findings, based on 16 expert interviews, reveal that while engineering teams at The Post exert great efforts to make some algorithmic systems transparent and explain their functions to the public (external), less information is being shared inside the newsroom (internal). This lack of internal algorithmic transparency is a potential pitfall as it could lead to mistakes in the news production and the reporting process in general.
