NFT moves towards journalism! The new york Times columnist is auctioning the article NFT

Kevin Roose, a science and technology columnist of new york Times, published a column "Buy This Column on the Blockchain" at noon today, in which he announced that his column NFT had been put on the Foundation auction platform.

Roose wrote in the article: "Usually, I am not allowed to promote in my column. But this time is an exception, because I want to sell the column itself. "

"This is my first experiment-I will use a column that is writing NFT as an NFT auction."

He mentioned in the article that on March 22nd, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey's first tweet NFT was auctioned for $2,915,800.

NFT artwork by digital artist Beeple sold for millions of dollars. In this regard, he commented: "When I saw that these wealth changed hands, I thought: Since celebrities, athletes and artists can have fun in it, why can't journalists join the NFT's' big Party'?"

Roose said: "The biggest advantage of buying this column NFT is that it will have a history. This is the first article published in NFT in the history of The New York Times in the past 170 years. If NFT is really a revolution, owning it may be tantamount to owning NBC's first TV broadcast. "

Compared with some people who are skeptical about NFT on the Internet, Roose is more optimistic about NFT. He wrote, "I am cautiously optimistic about them for the simple reason that they represent a new way for creative people to make a living on the Internet".

It is reported that any proceeds from this column NFT will be donated to Neediest Cases Fund in The New York Times.

The Neediest Cases Fund was initiated by Adolph S. Ochs, a former publisher of The Times. It lasted for 110 years and devoted itself to supporting charities in new york and other regions.

Up to now, the highest bidding price of NFT for this column on the Foundation platform is 3.75 Ethereum, about $6,323.81.
