When Journalism Stops Challenging Power

In this episode of Signal Fire, veteran editor and reporter, Mark Jacob, examines how journalism is struggling to hold power to account in an era of intimidation, consolidation, and political pressure. Jon, Lisa and Mark unpack how official narratives are too often repeated without scrutiny, allowing false balance and euphemistic language to shape public understanding. The conversation explores where ethical lines should be drawn between protecting sources, challenging authority, and informing the public in real time. At stake is not just trust in the media, but the press’s ability to fulfill its core democratic role.
