Why trade media matters For crypto, the trade media is even more important than in other industries. Today’s news about the layoffs at @blockworks is a wake-up call to the crypto industry. This isn’t a knock on Blockworks specifically—I have the utmost respect for them and what they've built. Having worked in digital media at @mashable I understand how difficult the media business is. The point is, trade media matters. All industries have it—from advertising (h/t @Adweek ) to bio & health to the railway industry (shout-out @RailwayAge ) —and it’s critically important both for highlighting the important work within the industry and for keeping it accountable. There are 3 main reasons why trade media is even more important in crypto that other industries: 1. Our industry is incredibly technical. Some of the most important work in crypto is hard to understand. You need to follow it day in and day out to understand the importance of MEV, SNARKs, and DUNAs. Many mainstream outlets either don’t have a dedicated crypto reporter or, if they do, they are pulled in too many different directions to truly understand the nuance. 2. “Trad media” is skeptical of crypto. As every founder in our portfolio can attest, trying to land a neutral-to-positive story in trad media is nearly impossible. Editors at “trad” publications have a hesitation, or even outright hostility, toward crypto. In the wake of volatility and blow-ups like FTX they feel burned and now refuse to give it any benefit of the doubt. 3. Reporters from the trades go on to “trad media.” The only way to change this perception in trad media is for great trade reporters to be naturally “poached” by larger publications. This isn’t a knock on the trades, but just a nature of the media businesses. To change the perception of crypto within newsrooms, you need to do it from the inside out. Because of these three things, we need crypto experts in the media. Trade media like @blockworks , @CoinDesk , @TheBlock__ , @Unchained_pod , @Cointelegraph , @DefiantNews , and @dlnews cannot be overlooked. Supporting the work for these publications is not just nice to have - but important to the crypto industry.
