Aspen is a place for leaders to lift their sights above the possessions which possess them. To confront their own nature as human beings, to regain control over their own humanity by becoming more self-aware, more self-correcting, and hence more self-fulfilling.

In an era of endless content and institutional mistrust, the political media landscape of 2024 represents fraught terrain for news consumers. Social platforms are hijacked by trolls while propaganda has become weaponized by political parties and foreign adversaries alike.
