The Future of Truth: Journalist Steven Brill
Manage episode 426033996 series 2834221
Over the course of the past decade, an endless stream of mis- and disinformation has made it increasingly difficult to parse fact from fiction. We sat down this week with a man who has a plan to restore trust in institutions and hold social media platforms accountable for divisive content that's often pushed for profit. Author and journalist Steven Brill, who cofounded the misinformation tracking tool NewsGuard, joins Major for appetizers at Buck's Fishing and Camping in upper Northwest D.C. His new book "The Death of Truth" is out now.
