Lies, Damned Lies and Alternative Facts: A Truth-seeker's Guide to Navigating Post-Truth Society

Alternative facts. Post-truth. Lies.
It's a new world out there for those of us searching for an element of trustworthiness in our media. There's a disease in our news feeds and it's spilling over into public life, making facts seem harder to find these days than gold.

For some of us, the latest American Presidential Race has been the thing that opened our eyes to the rising tide of falsehoods, but the issue is far bigger and more widespread than the race for, and the holding of, the US Presidency. Our whole awareness of the world is being swamped by disinformation, either purposely or through the reflexive clicking of mouse buttons.

There is danger in this culture of alternative facts. Much more than most of us realize. Our democratic way of life and our security risk being crumbled away under the watch of society's disinterested gaze. Though it can feel at times like the situation is hopeless, we need not be doomed to lose our grip on the truth forever.

With its explanation of how the current technological environment places pressure upon the media, 'Lies, Damned Lies & Alternative Facts', shines a light onto how we should (and how we should not) engage with the news providers of today. Readers will come away with an understanding that allows them to become more informed, discerning and intelligent consumers of the news.
