Last month, Reuters banned the use of photographs submitted in the RAW file format. The storied news agency will only accept JPGs, in the interests of speed and to reduce the possibility of photographic manipulation.
The photographer and writer Lewis Bush had an interesting blockchain-related take on it.
"This move by Reuters seems to me like a step in the wrong direction. Last week at a talk at the Photographer’s Gallery on networked images, discussion turned to the Blockchain technology which makes crypto-currencies like Bitcoin possible by making public and accessible information on all transactions and interactions. Imagine a world of journalistic open-ness where something similar occurred with images, where for every professional photograph there existed an accessible database of all the processes and uses that had taken place or involved it since the moment of its production."
