DESCRIPTION:A recent study “Digital News Report”\, conducted in 20+ countri
 es and published by Reuters in 2017 shows - among many other things- the s
 ources of consumption of news by age. The trends show how online and socia
 l media sources are at 70% for the age group of 18-24 at 60% for the group
  25-34 and at 50% for the group of 35-44 while traditional sources of news
  like television is only preferred by the age group of 55+.As this age gro
 up cohorts advance and transition to consume more and more news from socia
 l media and online sources\, the problem of preventing Fake News to influe
 nce individual and collective behaviour and ultimately the democratic proc
 esses will grow exponentially. The recent facts that have characterised th
 e American Presidential race must be a reflection for everybody independen
 tly of the political affiliation.A News\, i.e.: a noteworthy information\,
  reported online can be treated as a “digital asset” linked to a “certifie
 d source” and published on “trusted and reputable” digital broadcaster pla
 tforms. A News is also subject to evolve over time and can be edit/correct
 ed by many “certified sources”.In this talk we present a new technology fr
 amework built on blockchain technology (a distributed ledger) that will ad
 dress the problem of defining “the certified sources”\, “the tracking of t
 he news”\, “the editing and the publishing” of it on reputable and trusted
  means. We will discuss what is technological stack behind the framework a
 nd sketch its architecture.We finally will conclude the talk with some “pr
 ovocative” remarks to allow a lively Q/A section from the audience.*About
