Meet the Team

Bridger Danseareu leads True Signal Media’s long-form investigative reporting, focusing on government accountability, financial fraud, and transparency failures. His work centers on systematic accountability gaps in federal and state agencies, with particular emphasis on FOIA-driven investigations that expose misuse of public funds and institutional failures.

Before founding True Signal Media’s investigative division, Bridger spent years pursuing government transparency through direct advocacy and public records litigation. His reporting combines deep-dive document analysis with on-the-ground source development, producing stories that drive policy reform and public awareness.

Bridger’s current investigations include federal restaurant fraud schemes, veteran services accountability, and Congressional ethics violations. His work has exposed multi-million dollar misappropriations and systematic transparency obstruction across multiple agencies.

Marcus Hartwell covers breaking developments in government accountability, tracking daily stories that demand immediate public attention. His Daily Dispatch reporting keeps readers informed about developing scandals, agency responses to transparency requests, and real-time accountability failures.

Marcus specializes in rapid-response journalism that connects breaking news to broader patterns of government dysfunction. He monitors federal and state agencies for emerging stories, tracks legislative developments that impact transparency, and provides context for complex government operations.

His reporting bridges the gap between Bridger’s deep investigative work and Maya’s accessible analysis, ensuring True Signal Media maintains constant pressure on institutions that resist accountability.

Maya Sutton produces True Signal Media’s Morning Brief, providing readers with accessible, context-rich analysis of government accountability issues. Her work translates complex policy failures and bureaucratic obstruction into clear explanations that empower public understanding.

Maya’s journalism focuses on the human impact of government failures—how transparency gaps affect real people, how accountability breakdowns harm communities, and why seemingly abstract policy matters deserve public attention. She brings empathy and clarity to stories that might otherwise remain buried in bureaucratic jargon.

Before joining True Signal Media, Maya worked in policy analysis and public interest advocacy, building expertise in how government systems function (and fail). Her Morning Brief has become essential reading for anyone tracking accountability journalism.

Jordan Pierce leads True Signal Media’s data journalism and transparency operations, transforming raw public records into compelling investigative stories. She specializes in FOIA response analysis, pattern recognition across government agencies, and data visualization that exposes systematic accountability failures.

Jordan’s work bridges investigative reporting and strategic intelligence—she doesn’t just process documents, she identifies the stories hidden within them. Her analysis reveals which agencies obstruct transparency, which officials abuse exemptions, and where systematic corruption patterns emerge across jurisdictions.

Her transparency reporting includes multi-state FOIA comparative analysis, agency response pattern tracking, and deep-dive examinations of how government entities use legal technicalities to avoid accountability. Jordan’s data-driven approach has exposed institutional obstruction that would otherwise remain invisible.

Sienna Caldwell directs True Signal Media’s systematic transparency operations, managing large-scale public records campaigns across federal and state agencies. She leads the strategic design of multi-jurisdictional FOIA initiatives, ensuring True Signal Media maintains continuous pressure on government institutions that resist accountability.

Sienna’s role isn’t administrative support—it’s operational command. She architects transparency campaigns that span dozens of agencies simultaneously, tracks statutory deadlines across multiple legal frameworks, and prepares administrative appeals and litigation packages when agencies violate sunshine laws. Her work transforms reactive records requests into proactive investigative infrastructure.

Before joining True Signal Media, Sienna developed expertise in federal FOIA law and state sunshine statutes across multiple jurisdictions. She maintains institutional knowledge of agency FOIA office cultures, exemption abuse patterns, and effective legal strategies for compelling disclosure. Under her direction, True Signal Media has built one of the most aggressive transparency operations in accountability journalism.

When agencies stonewall, Sienna escalates. When they delay, she appeals. When they violate transparency law, she builds the case for enforcement. Her transparency warfare approach has forced disclosure from dozens of resistant institutions and established True Signal Media as a serious threat to government secrecy.
