The proliferation of fake news and misinformation in the digital era poses a significant challenge to news organizations and content creators. In this paper, we intro-duce the iTrust News Certificate, the architecture of an online blockchain-based solution designed to combat fake news, enhance news verification, and maintain reputation within the media ecosystem. Unlike previous attempts, iTrust News Certificate focuses on us-er-friendly features while ensuring transparency and reliability. By leveraging blockchain technology, iTrust News Certificate establishes a decentralized and immutable ledger for storing news-related metadata. This ledger ensures the integrity and traceability of news articles, making it extremely difficult for malicious actors to tamper with or propagate false information.
