"Dawn, and as the sun breaks through the piercing chill of night on the plain outside Korem, it lights up a biblical famine, now, in the twentieth century." Those words opened Michael Buerk's first report on the Ethiopian famine for the 6 o'clock news on October 24th, 1984. His reports sent shock waves round the world. The Live Aid concert, a direct consequence of Bob Geldof watching that broadcast, was watched by half the planet.

Low-level dishonesty is rife everywhere, in the form of exaggeration, selective use of facts, economy with the truth, careful drafting - from Trump and the Brexit debate to companies that tell us 'your call is important to us'.

This brilliantly insightful book steps inside the panoply of deception employed in all walks of life and assesses how it has come to this.

Este minibook convida você a pensar como elas surgem, por que se espalham tão rápido e o que isso revela sobre a nossa relação com a verdade. Percorremos os caminhos da desinformação, os interesses que a sustentam e os impactos que ela provoca na vida coletiva. Mais do que entender o problema, a proposta é abrir espaço para que você se posicione com mais consciência diante de um mundo que nem sempre valoriza os fatos.

En este fascinante ensayo, el escritor y periodista Chris Hayes argumenta que nos encontramos en el epicentro de una transición definitoria, cuyo paralelo más cercano sería la transformación del trabajo en el siglo XIX. Hoy, nuestra atención se ha convertido en un bien de consumo, cuya extracción con fines de lucro es la responsable de que nos sintamos cada vez más alienados.

Leafing through photos from the January 6 insurrection, extremist researcher Noelle Cook was struck by how many women looked like her: middle-aged white women in puffy coats. Women were not on the fringes of the extreme right, she realized. They were radicalizing each other, and the pandemic was changing them. So who were the women of J6? And why did some of them believe in shape-shifting reptilians and the health benefits of colloidal silver?

Empathy Machines identifies This American Life as a cultural institution in the evolution of empathy as a "liberal feeling" central to podcast storytelling and the neoliberal era in which it developed.

Gary Webb had an inborn journalistic tendency to track down corruption and expose it. For over thirty-four years, he wrote stories about corruption from county, state, and federal levels. He had an almost magnetic effect to these kinds of stories, and it was almost as if the stories found him. It was his gift, and, ultimately, it was his downfall.

Oggi, l'inondazione di immagini a cui molti bambini, adolescenti e adulti vanno incontro per l'abitudine di stare per molte ore davanti a uno schermo, (televisione, telefonino) espropria gli stessi di quel tipo di azione che è caratterizzato dal linguaggio parlato e dalla comunicazione sociale. Insomma, la tendenza naturale che l'individuo ha di immaginare, giocare, dialogare, viene lentamente ma progressivamente repressa dall'influenza di questi mezzi moderni di comunicazione.

¿De dónde surge el pensamiento conspiranoico? Para Noel Ceballos, la conspiranoia es un marco paranoico con el que enfrentarse a un mundo cada vez más complejo y caótico. Una fórmula mágica con la que reordenar la cacofoniá informativa cotidiana hasta dar con una narración satisfactoria. Pero las teoriás conspirativas actuales no son nuevas, sino meras actualizaciones de elaboradísimas falsedades o burdas mentiras - con apariencia de verdad - que llevan siglos circulando por las sociedades occidentales. 

As World War II approached, the six most powerful media moguls in America and Britain tried to pressure their countries to ignore the fascist threat.
