Searching for Truth in a World of Disinformation

Searching for the truth: information is the raw material for society, but lies are easily spread. This magazine explores what can be done to protect the information ecosystem in a world of disinformation.

While the digital age has increased the potency and complexity of lies, mis- and disinformation are nothing new. People lie, governments lie more, and the press have always danced somewhere in between. From the Philippines disinformation industry to the media’s distortion of the truth in Israel’s war on Palestine, this edition zooms out to analyse the importance of information to democracy.
