Description

What happens when a free society loses its grip on shared truth? The old system is breaking. Legacy media is struggling. Social platforms are the main source of news for millions—but they're designed for engagement, not accuracy. On Signal Fire, hosts Jon Zieger, who helped lead some of America’s most successful technology companies,  and Lisa Senecal, a media strategist, narrative expert, and pro-democracy platform founding editor, explore how our information systems are breaking—and what can rebuild them. Each week brings honest talk with journalists, creators, and technologists working toward real solutions. Truth matters. Let’s find our way back.
