Post Truth Journalism

On Monday 15th of May, iMMovator, Stimuleringsfonds vd Journalistiek, MFW and het stadsfonds organize an event especially for professionals with a number of MFW speakers with the theme: ‘Perspectives on Post Truth Journalism’.

With Brexit and the American elections, a new concept has emerged: post-truthism. In the Brexit and Trump campaigns they created own truths, opinions and even facts, just to bring other people down. In addition, so-called ‘fake news’ and ‘clickbaits’ take over on platforms like Facebook. As a (future) media maker, how much do you value the truth? Do You give your users what they want? Is it your job to educate them? And how do you design media with facts, truths and messages that reach the audience, even if they don’t want to listen.
