We’re living in a post-truth reality — where facts compete with memes, misinformation spreads faster than journalism, and artificial intelligence threatens to rewrite the rules entirely. Mosheh sits down with Nick Thompson, CEO of The Atlantic, to break down the urgent fight over what’s real, what’s fake, and who gets to decide.

Nick explains why AI search could soon become the primary way people consume information — and why The Atlantic moved early to strike a precedent-setting deal with OpenAI to protect its reporting from being scraped without credit or compensation.

They dig into collapsing trust in media, the dangers of deepfakes, and how ethical journalism can survive when powerful players — from Beijing to Washington — try to shape the narrative. Nick also chats about navigating covering the Trump administration, including how 'The Atlantic' broke “Signalgate."

Plus: Nick opens up about his new book ⁠⁠The Running Ground⁠⁠, the story behind his ultramarathon obsession, and how endurance fuels leadership in the newsroom.
