PUBLISH, Inc. joined the IPTC (International Press Telecommunications Council) on March 29.

According to its website, the IPTC is “a consortium of news agencies, newspapers and news system vendors that develops and publishes technical specifications to promote the easy, accurate, and inexpensive exchange of news standards.”

Notable members include Agence France-Presse, BBC News, Bloomberg, The Associated Press, and The New York Times.

IPTC has laid the groundwork for news in the internet era, and we look forward to sharing our experience with news knowledge and expertise using blockchain technology and distributed storage systems as we work with IPTC on developing future industry standards.

Earlier on in the month, we entered into a strategic partnership with Alexandria to develop an extended Open Index Protocol (OIP) for blockchain news dissemination.
