Former United Kingdom Prime Minister Liz Truss Joins Roundtable Board of Directors, to Lead European Press Coalition

Truss joins Roundtable founder's 35 year history of empowering professional journalism, with providing advanced technology for major media coalitions.

Roundtable (Nasdaq: RTB) CEO James Heckman today announced The Rt. Hon Liz Truss has joined its Board of Directors and will focus on forming a European Press Coalition, leveraging Roundtable's media operating system, to empower the highest-quality journalism to self-support. After 14 years serving Great Britain as Prime Minister, Parliamentarian, Foreign Secretary, International Trade Secretary and Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Truss brings a distinguished record of public service and commitment to a free press.

"Liz embodies Britain's tradition of sophisticated engagement across political, media and civic constituencies through decades of thoughtful leadership, open debate and commitment to a free press," said James Heckman, CEO of Roundtable. "Our Board believes she is the perfect partner to advance our mission to protect and empower human-led, professional journalism."

"Great Britain has one of the world's richest traditions of independent journalism and most respected media brands. Yet professional media faces unprecedented technological and economic challenges, particularly from AI and global technology platforms," said Truss. "I'm honored to join Roundtable's distinguished technology leaders and senior media executives, offering the highest level of technology - purpose-built for human-led, professional media."

"Our free press is a historic national treasure worth protecting, and forming a literal Roundtable of leading professionals can ensure great journalism, created by the human mind and spirit, has a sustainable future."

Roundtable has now assembled an audience exceeding 100 million, a $100 million marketplace - which is shared by dozens of premium media brands and hundreds of professional journalists. Liz Truss is ideally positioned to help curate and expand the highest quality journalism within that ecosystem

Roundtable has developed the world's most advanced media operating system, powered by DeFi and AI, ironically to protect human-created journalism from AI - by providing the tools, technology, global-scale monetization and self-sustaining distribution to empower this critical art to protect our human rights.
