Fake News versus Truth: Right versus Wrong?
5 Feb 2019| Duration: | 2 hours |
We will examine this pressing, disturbing topic from different angles in a round table discussion with Marta Peirano, Alfonso Armada, Javier Gomá and Concha Barrigós.
What role does and can culture play? Is it a tool for heightening the public’s critical awareness? Are truth, fact and accountability relative, subjective terms? Do they have moral or even spiritual implications? Are images more powerful than the spoken or written word? Who and what still inspires our trust?
