Sarah P. Murphy Madia
Hello! I’m a Brussels-based information integrity and disinformation specialist with a background in journalism and digital media. I currently lead policy work at WHAT TO FIX, a tech accountability organization focused on helping forge a future where information integrity can thrive and digital harms are minimized.
Over the past decade, I’ve worked across newsrooms and international organizations—including Al Jazeera, the WHO and Doctors Without Borders. I was also on the launch team for Al Jazeera’s pioneering social media news outlet AJ+. A former editor and producer, I’m driven by a long-standing obsession with how information circulates through news and social media, how those systems can responsibly and sustainably transform alongside technology advances, and what it all means for our collective construction of knowledge and notions of truth.
I studied philosophy as an undergraduate at Emory University, where my senior capstone project explored the epistemic implications of contemporary news reporting. I later explored a few of the former Soviet Union’s 'frozen conflicts' as a Comparative Politics MSc student (Department of Government, “Conflict Studies” stream) at the London School of Economics.
