Steven Waldman founded Rebuild Local News, a non-profit coalition of over 3000 local newspapers, to combat this decline and advocate for local journalism. How did the rise of Craigslist kill the local newspaper? What can local papers learn from public libraries? And is it time to completely rethink the role of news in our society?

Andrew Yang on the path to UBI, the explosion of AI, and optimism for the future

If you're a Democratic candidate in the U.S., you use Democratic software; if you're Republican, you use Republican software. But what if you're independent? You're out of luck, locked out of both the technology and the voter data required to run a competitive campaign. Farhad Mohit founded and ran Flipagram, now better known as TikTok. After Flipagram's acquisition, Farhad felt like he had the necessary experience to challenge the walled garden of political tech, starting a suite of tools for independents known as Good Party.

How to Give a TED Talk

In one survey, 47% of Americans said they would take Ozempic or similar drugs, which promise to help people lose 5-24% of their bodyweight — but what's the catch? After Johann Hari began taking Ozempic in 2023, he began investigating how Ozempic affects brain chemistry, the causes of obesity in the western world, and the risks of weight-loss drugs compared to those of obesity. Johann also shares some unexpected secondary consequences of the rise of this new class of weight-loss drugs.
