After reading a bit about it I came away feeling skeptical. I don't understand why, if they kicked Jaspan out of the main network with a vote of no confidence, they let him head up the US wing? Maybe its just the US portion Im feeling worried about
Can you give more context? Who is Jaspan?
Sure, pretty much all my info came from this wikipedia entry and its linked sources https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Conversation_(website)
It says Andrew Jaspan was originally one of the founders, but then was forced to resign
It also says he was in charge of the US portion and it does seem he wrote the announcement
However maybe he has since been replaced?
