Press freedom is a right that every rule of law, together with the media (newspapers, radios, televisions, internet providers) should guarantee to citizens and their associations, to ensure the existence of freedom of speech and press free, with a series of mainly extended rights. (Wikipedia)
WHAT IS THE WREP
THE BLOCKCHAIN
The WREP Registry was established in Germany in 2018 as a declination of the Blockchain European Partnership Agreement (EBP), supporting the provision of cross-border digital services with the highest standards of security and privacy.
The WREP Register allows subscribers to make a legal deposit on digital publishing products using blockchain technology, effectively protecting the copyright of those who publish information content online.
Considering the technical characteristics of the blockchain, with Law Decree 135/2018 it is recognised as one of the technologies based on distributed registers and as such can produce the legal effects recognised to electronic time validation.
The blockchain allows to protect intellectual property rights thanks to its intrinsic characteristics of transparency, security, unchangeability, traceability of data information and transactions.
The protection through blockchain is therefore equivalent to a notarial deed.
NFT
The Wrep blockchain allows the creation of NFTs that can be traded for free in the NFT.WREP.EU marketplace.
PROTECTED WORKS
The WREP Registry protects:
Texts of any kind
Images (illustrations, photographs, infographics)

Each work, in order to be registered and certified on WREP, must necessarily be published on the web and accessible via a url.
It is the responsibility of the member to register and certify his own works, as WREP is not obliged to verify the intellectual property and authenticity of the registered contents.

HOW TO ACCESS
For Italy, registrations in the WREP Register are managed exclusively and continuously by the Associazione Web Press Media Reporter APS (WPMR).
WPMR, WREP subsidiary for Italy, is a Social Promotion Association whose main objective is the protection and promotion of press freedom.
WPMR’s activities also include
the organisation of promotional events, such as meetings and conferences, with the aim of encouraging a free and independent press;
the organisation of courses and seminars on information, new technologies and journalism.
WPMR selects candidates at the preliminary stage and, if their profile is deemed suitable, qualifies them for the admission test (not mandatory for media reporters and journalists already accredited by other bodies).
If the candidate passes the exam, he or she will have to pay the annual membership fee and can therefore be entered in the WREP Register, which will guarantee the free blockchain certification service for content published online.
