Truth and the Rise of Popular Lies
The situation was already grave in many developing countries and those ruled by authoritarian leaders, but now western democracies have found truth being undermined and popular lies often taking its place, especially in the digital world. The impact on politics, journalism, and scholarly endeavors has been chaotic and catastrophic. How will we dig out of this abyss, banish false equivalencies, and restore faith in reliable facts?
Join us for “Truth and the Rise of Popular Lies,” the next episode of the monthly series, Free Speech at the Crossroads: International Dialogues, co-sponsored by the Free Speech Project at Georgetown and the Future of the Humanities Project.
