LONDON, July 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Roundtable (NASDAQ: RTB), the world's only AI/DeFi-powered Enterprise Media Platform, announced that Founders Eyal Hertzog and CEO James Heckman completed a tour of London, meeting with British media executives and journalists, at the birthplace of the free press, offering a revolutionary platform for the industry, which should recover assets, IP and audience.
The tour and event follows Roundtable’s secured tech partnership with Mario Nawfal, the world's most-viewed journalist - shortly after announcing integration with Coinbase, which ensures transparent, instant cash flow for an industry under pressure from major tech platform’s market dominance.
“The British media market is small and fractionalized, which when squeezed by the complexity of modern technology and lack of scale in the face of consolidation, presents an existential threat to professional journalism and independence,” said James Heckman, Founder and CEO of Roundtable. “We were honored to meet many of the country's top media leaders. After reviewing their commercial landscape, we believe they all need to band together on a unified platform, just as major North American media brands did in advertising, music and studio OTT platforms.”
During the event, Heckman presented to hundreds of British journalists, including the likes of GB News, The Daily Mail, The Telegraph and The Spectator. “The UK is the cradle of classic journalism, and we’re focused on helping these monuments of democracy," continued Heckman. “British press' challenges today stem from inorganic pressure from tech monopolies, which bring a heavy financial burden from impossible technical requirements. We are able to relieve this pressure.”
