ABOUT PATRICE SCHNEIDER
I started as a war correspondent in 1980s conflict zones, then spent two decades in media management at Hachette and Time Warner—a transition that proved surprisingly relevant. For 23 years at the Media Development Investment Fund, he\'s channeled that early idealism into pragmatic action—co-designing impact investment vehicles for independent media and mobilizing €171 million to fight media capture across emerging democracies. He\'s now turning his focus on building something entirely new: a lab reimagining public interest information that supports any form of public interest information that serves democratic sense-making.
