Give a 3 sentence description for your proposal.

StremaGenic is a decentralized video news publishing project with the aim of helping creators publish video news files and share them easily while owning their content and making money from it. This project intends to build a web3 news for everyone around the globe. Users that are Eye witness to events, captures them and publish on the new platform. News / Contents can also be streamed live through Livepeers streams.

Describe the problem you are solving.

The video media space growing at a fast pace but there is no truly decentralized video media where creators will actually own their work without serving as slaves to the centralized masters. This centralized masters (owners) make policies and take decisions that might not be favorable to creators. The facts that web3 solves the issue of centralization, Decentralized video publishing was born to make available a platform where creators can become members of a DAO to vote for or against proposals that will keep the community healthy.
