Fake news in a post truth era.
Not Buying It describes the ‘post-truth’ era really well, how social media and the media manipulates our opinions, and how politics is becoming a central area where we are seeing the results of this (as well as science). It covers both sides of the Atlantic and Charlotte Henry looks at how ‘fake news’ became a thing, how we were (and are) fed alternative facts, and finally what we can do to better inform ourselves.

It’s NOT a cheery read, but it’s an essential one! Highly recommended, and I enjoyed it very much.

Many thanks to The Pigeonhole, Unbound and Charlotte Henry for reading along.
