Big Ideas in the Pub: Truth & Propaganda

  • Clyde Hotel 385 Cardigan Street Carlton, VIC, 3053 Australia (map)

Today’s world is awash with misinformation and much of what passes for news is subject to the manipulations of mass media, political elites or interest groups. While the internet promised the dawn of a new information age, we now seem to be confronted with an array of conspiracy theories, opinions and competing truth claims, which have only contributed to the distrust the polarisation that now seems part and parcel of contemporary politics. How does the average citizen separate truth from propaganda? Do we need to develop new forms of literacy to navigate our way through the complexities of a post-truth world? Join us at the Clyde Hotel in Carlton (Melbourne) as we tackle these big questions in conversation.
