  In order to stay up to date with world issues and cutting-edge technol-ogies,
the newspaper plays a crucial role. However, collecting news is not a very easy
task. Currently, news publishers are collecting news from their correspond-ents
through social networks, email, phone call, fax etc. and sometimes they buy
news from the agencies. However, the existing news sharing networks may not
provide security for data integrity and any third party may obstruct the
regular flow of news sharing. Moreover, the existing news schemes are very
vulnerable in case of disclosing the identity. Therefore, a universal platform
is needed in the era of globalization where anyone can share and trade news
from anywhere in the world securely, without the interference of third-party,
and without disclosing the identity of an individual. Recently, blockchain has
gained popularity because of its security mechanism over data, identity, etc.
Blockchain enables a distrib-uted way of managing transactions where each
participant of the network holds the same copy of the transactions. Therefore,
with the help of pseudonymity, fault-tolerance, immutability and the
distributed structure of blockchain, a scheme (termed as NEWSTRADCOIN) is
presented in this paper in which not only news can be shared securely but also
anyone can earn money by selling news. The proposed NEWSTRADCOIN can provide a
universal platform where publishers can directly obtain news from
news-gatherers in a secure way by main-taining data integrity, without
experiencing the interference of a third-party, and without disclosing the
identity of the news gatherer and publishers.
