Human beings have spent several centuries in the pursuit of truth, through science, philosophy, art and journalism. Where does that leave us now, when truth seems to be of little importance to the stories we hear, spin, share and react to? What is the difference between fake news, plain old lies and BS, and what is the future of truth? This topic is all the more urgent given the current situation in India, where two prominent journalists are facing multiple online death threats because of inflammatory fake news attributed to them.

Moderated by Peter Klein of the Global Reporting Centre, this amazing group of journalists discusses the future of journalism and truth in an era of manufactured information. Featuring Dionne Bunsha, Jagdeesh Mann and Wawmeesh Hamilton.
