The Media and Journalism Research Center is evolving into a decentralized, crypto-native think tank. MJRC DAO is our new governance and funding structure — designed to protect editorial independence, promote collaborative research, and build a new model for media accountability in the digital age.
Mission
MJRC DAO exists to:
- Defend independent journalism from state and corporate capture
- Fund public-interest research on media, democracy, and disinformation
- Empower a global community of researchers, technologists, and citizens
- Use Web3 tools to ensure transparency, resilience, and collective governance
How It Works
We use a decentralized governance model based on a custom $MJRC token and a shared Constitution. Token holders can:
- Vote on proposals
- Allocate research funding
- Approve strategic directions
- Elect or recall core contributors
Governance happens on Snapshot — no gas required.

Funding the Future
MJRC DAO is funded by:

All spending is governed via the DAO and fully transparent on-chain.

Invest in independent media research and join a community of practice.
MJRC takes no government money — which is why we ask people who value independent investigation to invest in it directly. Your contribution supports our investigations and global analysis. Supporters can receive early access to new findings, invitations to small-group briefings, inclusion in our Supporters Circle updates, and the option to be listed on our Supporters Page.
