Recently I've seen a few articles and videos that contained blatant misrepresentation of Bitcoin (like this one - http://www.onlinemba.com/blog/bitcoins/). I'm afraid that if we let such sloppy journalism to continue, it might harm the Bitcoin community in the long run.

I propose establishing a Bitcoin peer review board. It could be working as a part of the Bitcoin Foundation. Generally, it would be a forum of knowledgeable people that understand Bitcoin who would be providing peer review of various papers, news articles, videos and the like. Those that would be representing the project fairly would be endorsed, while the ones containing misrepresentations and biases would be condemned. Initially the review board could take form of a subforum with restricted posting rights, possibly growing into something else should the need arise (a peer reviewed journal of sorts?).


Why would this be beneficial to the community?
The board would allow anyone to clearly see if the piece of information they read or watched is well researched, or should be ignored as junk. It would let people creating new content to know which sources are credible, so they can build upon them.



So, what do you guys think about this idea? Should we pursue it and establish some standards when describing Bitcoin?
