I first connected with Suzie Dawson, journalist, activist and leader of the Internet Party of New Zealand, on my Steemit page. We had a shared interest in supporting musicians make the shift over to blockchain based technology and finding alternate sources of income in a streaming-based industry.
As I delved a little deeper into what Suzie is all about, I decided I really need to ask her some questions about some of the larger concepts around blockchain based journalism and why she is an advocate for alternative media moving to Steemit.
Honestly, this was a mind-expanding conversation for me. Whatever your personal politics are, it is unquestionable that in this day and age the freedom of the press must be protected and supported.
I hope you find this interview as enlightening as I did. Please follow @suzi3d and show your support.
I am @benleemusic and excited to continue sharing BIG IDEAS with you.

All of the Big-Boys are becoming heavily regulated and censored. They all want to give in to any group that makes some noise and threatens to yell and chant and accuse them of being something politically incorrect.
Now that they've got their big fat stock options, they don't want to do anything that will rock the boat.
So much for being trail-blazers.

Extremely interesting talk, thank you! I can absolutely relate to the view that progress is (also literally) blocked, and that a huge part of this started with the whole so-called war on terror. Though I'm not a journalist myself, I'm constantly "monitoring" what is going on in the news, in politics, well, generally on this planet, and I have become more and more frustrated with the limited amount of topics and also perspectives that can be found in most of the current media, and also with the decline in quality. A few years ago I did actually believe that the main reason was the lack of fair payment (which was/is a fact, at least here in Germany, this I know also from experience), but today I think there's "more" to that. Not only agencies don't want change, I am thinking many people don't want fundamental change, either (again, I'm mainly referring to central Europe here). Maybe it's just the fear of "getting out of the quite comfortable bubble", in my view, though, there's something like a fear of freedom. But that's just a thought on the side.
Anyway, I hope that Steemit will continue to be the place for everybody who likes to share content, to support quality content, and this also means quality journalism - especially fresh perspectives, topics that wouldn't even be a topic on "conventional" news. I'm really excited about journalism on Steemit!

I even threw my tv years ago. I do not like to be manipulated. I agree block chain might change the way journalism is done but if done wisely and with truth. I can see many would take advantage of it, and there are other issues I believe, yet I have been around a short time, but I am sure steemit will work it out. I believe in freedom but also in the right of people that could be affected by sensible or fake news. Everybody likes gossip right, but we should use powerful tools with wisdom and truth. It it just highlighting some points out. We will see very soon, this is future and we are walking on it.

Censorship
I do understand the blockchain Steem, records date and is (after 7 days) not possible to be changed anymore. Therefore facilitating the idea of non-censorship. HOWEVER, @suzi3d you tell us in the interview, Facebook manipulates the timeline and manipulates the number of views. Then you say "Steemit solved ALL of that"... Well, I do not agree Steemit solved this! As you know, the visibility of a post at Steemit is very limited! Some posts will make it to one of the standard channels (HOT, TRENDING), but most posts are within 30 minutes ending up in this huge pile of posts nobodies sees anymore. Therefore, although Steemit does not manipulate your own timeline, the way content/posts are presented in the Steemit User Interface results in most posts to end up in the 'bin'. I would have liked you to not sing hallelujah yet, since Steemit is not there yet to be a good social media.
Also, I'm wondering how many of the 1.000+ views and the 536 votes actual watched the video. That is another flaw at Steemit! Many users are here to get rewards, and there is this trend of users voting for posts with a lot of votes and a lot of views, however not reading/consuming the content itself.
In principle I agree with you, Steem blockchain does not allow deletion of content, so it has potential, for sure. But at the moment it is just potential.

I agree, I see it that way too.
But also, I think the "not reading/consuming the content itself" is a people problem...on any platform. Nothing can ever be ALL good, unfortunately. But is it a better alternative, maybe? Then it's a good thing, imo. Potential is a good thing to have, and sometimes criticism can help more than it might hurt.
Change is hard, sometimes necessary, and I think we've reached that point. I'm just happy to see so many people talking about it.

You have good points, and it is good to have the potential to grow into more censorship free services. I simply hope some team able to design good user interfaces, will design a good user interface to the Steem blockchain.
Also, I hope those who can decide on the Steem blockchain functionalities, will build in functions to be able to block copyrighted material, and block accounts abusing the blockchain and/or other users; The flag feature is not good enough imho.

Yeah, you're right. I hate the ones who ruin good things for everybody else. "You're the reason we can't have nice things!"
Actually, that was the last bit of my reply that I chose to omit (wish I hadn't now)...I'm glad we're all talking about it, AND, even more, I'm thankful for the designers actually working on building these interfaces. They're the ones to thank and the ones to look to, for us to put some faith in their wisdom and talent. We need to and we have to, because they're the ones we're depending on. Good point!

Censorship is much better on Steemit than other platforms I have been on. I have had words blanked out or entire post vanish. The only thing I have seen on Steemit is a situation where a person with a SP of over 2500 and a Reputation of (63) goes around down voting people like Stefan Molyneux who dare to say the "Earth is Round". With that much SP and Reputation one down vote from him will cause comments to be hidden and limits the amount of payout.

Interesting. I've always agreed with the Dalai Lama on this who mentioned "the role journalists can play in promoting human values and religious harmony. He said that media people should have long noses like that of an elephant to smell in front and behind politicians and other people. In a democratic society people have the right to know the truth and journalists should inform the public of the reality. However, he said they must report truthfully, objectively and in an unbiased manner."

I like Glenn Greenwald's take on this.
He says that every journalist has opinion bias, whether they are aware of, or admit it, or not. And that it's better to embrace and be open about your opinions and influences than to attempt to hide them under a veil of neutrality.
Personally my mantra is "Real journalists whistle-blow every time they write." A phrase I coined to reflect that journalism should be about telling important stories in the public interest, regardless of which ideological angle you're coming at them from.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Absolutely agree with both, and especially your mantra!
Of course, journalists have biases and opinions, sometimes their opinions or biases might change because of their own investigations, research, etc., sometimes not. And I am completely fine with opinion as long as I know it's an opinion, I really don't like articles that present themselves as neutral or fact when they are mostly opinion - so I'm completely with Greenwald here.

Thats the most absurd comment that people make to people who make money doing what they love.

If he becomes a millionaire does he have to give most of it away so he can live like he did when he first started? If he becomes successful he has to give away the fruits of his success so people cant say hes "laughing all the way to the bank?

Steemit is fresh but has a long way to go. Facebook has some real cool tools that Steemit has to improvise on or at least straight up replicate. We are all being starry eyed about Steemit. It only takes Facebook to launch a subsidiary and win back this market. We are happy here, but there's nothing stopping Facebook to launch a real cool alternative platform. Hence, Steemit has to remain principled, loyal to its ideals and keep improvising tools and mechanisms to bring people closer. Paying and earning cannot be the only incentive. Steemit should have more incentives for investors too

Unfortunately, I have had first-hand experience of my website posts being compromised. It was done by one of the major search engines, which I have an affiliate relationship with. I republished an article from a major media outlet that, evidently, was not aligned with the search engines management/staff 's staff political ideology. It was nothing radical. However, it did expose some of the things that you have brought to light in your posts. The search engine sent me a penalty notice, knocked me back 30 pages in web search and coincidentally I am now getting a lot of 404 errors.
I recently joined Steemit and hope that it is the future of social media and
becomes a haven for truth-tellers.
I enjoy your posts.

Twitter is "censoring" tweets and determining who gets to see the tweet. Facebook has a new algorithm that decides which "friend" of your gets to see the post. Google, well we all know what Google does. We are not talking Government censorship, but information based on what Zukerberg believes or the employee at Twitter. That is how I found Steemit. I was looking for an alternative to Google -You Tube- Facebook and Twitter.
Now when or if you express your disdain for these practices, you will be “labeled” in fact Steemit or Blockchain will be “labeled” the dark web someday by those that are in danger of losing power.
Think about it. Your phone or your PC recognize your face. Probably more like Google and Facebook having your face on file attached to your entire digital life. If someone at Facebook decides that people on the “dark web” need to be rounded up and arrested, how long will it take until some algorithm sees your face entering a Starbucks?

Awesome Ben and Suzie! I checked into facebook today for the first time in about three months and everyone was sharing some moronic video of a girl getting a private part of her cast as a sculpture, so I shut it down and logged back into my Steemit feed and this interview of yours was the first thing I saw.
No clearer sign of the night and day difference of the old pre-blockchain media monopoly versus real content and journalism to be found here.

I've had the experience with Facebook altering information too. FB is so manipulated. Such scumbags.
