Is social media as bad for you as cigarettes? Will AI help or destroy journalism? The state of news content with Forth co-founder Xana O'Neill

Xana O'Neill is our guest this week. She is a co-founder of Forth, a new journalism-focused digital content platform, as well as the former head of news at Snapchat.

The big questions we tackle this week:

Why do so many people rely on social media for news?
How did Forth create criteria to choose which people can create content on that platform?
Can AI be a good journalist?
Why are publishers making deals with OpenAI?
How would you cover the first presidential debate given the current news content landscape?
