We're currently working on a piece regarding the US Banking
Regulator (OCC) greenlighting the custody of crypto assets by

exchanges, crypto firms and investors in general.. Even the
impact of BTC price hitting 10k based on this news and the $2
Trillion Fed stimulus expected. We're looking to get insights on
the following subjects:

Will banks actually take up this opportunity? Or will the
industry show the same reluctance it has in the past?

Considering that change happened in Germany a few months ago,
how is this similar or different to the implications of that
change?

What does this change for investors? Are there any disadvantages
of this move?

This news along with expected $2 Trillion Fed stimuli, has sent
the price of BTC and even Ether to soaring highs and growing.
Will this price rally continue? Are any more factors causing
this?

Please feel free to add any additional details that you feel I
might have failed to consider in relation to this subject.

13) Summary: Revolts at major newspapers

Category: Business and Finance

Email: query-b2ng@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Anonymous

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 27 July

Query:

Last week, we saw almost 300 reporters and editors with the Wall
Street Journal write a letter to the publisher objecting to the
factchecking practices by the opinion side. This is the latest
internal dustup that went very public at a major newspaper.
Previously, the staff angst over the Tom Cotton op-ed made big
news. There have been reports about similar instances at the
Washington Post, Philadelphia Inquirer and others. I'm looking
for someone to comment: Is this type of thing healthy or
unhealthy? Would these type of things have happened so publicly
10 years or even five years ago? What does it mean for the
future of newsrooms and opinion side? It doesn't seem we've
seen this spillover as much into TV news outlets--at least not
as publicly. Do we know why?

Requirements:

I'm looking for anyone with a background that allows them to
speak authoritatively about media trends. This could be a
journalism professor, someone with a journalism organization or
someone who could be a credible media watchdog. This is for a
written story. So, this would be a phone interview or even
written responses. Thank you.

Name: Shiraz jagati Cointelegraph

Category: Business and Finance

Email: query-b2lk@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Cointelegraph

Deadline: 10:00 AM EST - 28 July

Query:

Hey HARO family,

Currently working on a new piece for Cointelegraph regarding the
Chinese as well as the global crypto mining sector. Was looking
for experts to provide their insights in regard to a few
questions:

(i) China-based mining pool Btc.top is looking to redefine the
concept of cloud mining, which will allow users to mine crypto
remotely by buying a certain amount of hash power from a
third-party, with what it calls "joint mining." While on paper
this concept sounds quite appealing, how feasible and
financially viable is BTC.top's vision in reality? For example,
as per reports, operational/usage rates are subject change once
the rainy season in Sichuan is over since at least some of its
mining farms are located there.

Due to the Black Lives Matter movement, many companies have

This article, in part, will provide guidance on how companies

meaningful, seamless way so that their new company vision can be
realized as quickly as possible.

I am looking for tangible - not aspirational - information on
how companies can do this. So many companies have said they are
committed and will make these changes ... but how? That's where
I need an expert to provide information.

similar to provide tangible guidance for this article.

Ideally, I would love to feature a BIPOC as a source.

I anticipate being overwhelmed with responses, so please provide
your answers to the following questions when responding. I will
get in contact with sources I'm considering for more information.

> If a company has stated a commitment to change in regard to
race-related representation, sponsorships/partnerships, etc.,
what should it do next? Where should a company start with the
transition into a more racially aware and inclusive company?

> How can a company ensure it remains focused on this goal
versus letting this become just another "good idea" or
"something to do someday?"

> Generally, what are the biggest challenges to changing a
company's culture or foundation? How can a company making a
major change like this make sure it succeeds in meeting this
challenge?
