## Resource

Anjan joins for a six month update on The Stringer Foundation, his effort to build the OpenSats of independent journalism. We get into Stringer’s inaugural 25 finalists, their Courage Index for evaluating journalists working under threat, New York Times recognition, funding models for frontline reporters, mental health support, and why truthful human-sourced information matters more in the age of AI. Then we discuss Kyntab, a personal SOS app for journalists and people at risk, plus a deeper debate on open source security, trust, and protecting users under hostile threat models.
