Decentralized Ledger Journalism: An Uninvestigated Frontier of Data-Driven Reporting presents the following source proposition: Drawing on the unique affordances of blockchain and other distributed ledger technologies (DLT), this approach positions public, immutable records not merely as supplementary datasets, but as primary sources for journalistic inquiry. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Distributed ledger technologies are particularly capable of increasing trust among charitable organizations, sponsors, and beneficiaries, because the technology enables real time tracking of the donation supply chain. The proposed response is an extension: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.
