Knight’s Alberto Ibargüen Takes on the Local News Crisis

Alberto Ibargüen pulls no punches: “We do not have an informed citizenry” and fact and opinion are being conflated, he says. As president and CEO of the Knight Foundation , Ibargüen spends his days doing something about it. His team champions efforts to innovate journalism business models and technology to better tell and deliver news the public needs to know. He shares lessons gleaned from his time as publisher of The Miami Herald and El Nuevo Herald, and explains why Knight recently committed $300 million to local journalism initiatives. And he leaves Team Interrupt wondering about ethics and governance in the era of artificial intelligence. Special thanks to Connor Button, our theme music creator, and to WKNY Radio Kingston, our kind host on the airwaves.
