In an age where misinformation spreads faster than facts and trust in institutions is at an all-time low, one woman has spent her career fighting to protect the public's right to knowledge.
Katherine Maher didn't set out to be a media executive or a digital rights activist-she set out to solve problems that matter. From shaping Wikipedia into a global force for free information to guiding NPR through a rapidly shifting media landscape, Maher has been at the forefront of some of the most critical battles of our time: the fight for truth, the defense of independent journalism, and the struggle to keep the internet a space for open knowledge rather than corporate control.
This book isn't just a biography-it's the story of a movement. Through Maher's journey, you'll uncover the urgent challenges facing public media, the internet, and democracy itself. You'll see how one person, armed with vision and determination, can challenge powerful institutions and reshape them for the better.
Whether you're a journalist, a technologist, or someone who simply cares about the future of truth in a digital world, this book offers insight, inspiration, and a call to action. The fight for knowledge is far from over, and as Maher's story proves, it's a fight worth having.
Read this book to understand not just who Katherine Maher is, but why her work matters-to all of us.
