Metaverse

Public Interest News Network is exploring the viability of core funding to serve as a catalyst and influence bipartisan public policy discourse toward the creation of a human-centered Metaverse through the development of public interest technology. We envision an opportunity to enable the emerging fields and diverse academic and professional disciplines of public interest communications, technology, publishing and law to align and support a Metaverse and Fediverse dedicated to serving the social good.

Metaverse possibilities include the creation of virtual newsrooms where viewers actively participate, explore different aspects of stories and even contribute to news production. This not only allows viewers to shape and personalize their news experience but also establishes a stronger connection with the information shared.

On the other hand, there are valid concerns regarding data privacy, protection and security that cannot be overlooked.
