What is fact and what is fiction? In an era where the truth is easily manipulated, defining objective reality is more challenging than ever. To help navigate the convergence of calamities, host Roshini Rajkumar dives deep into the forces blurring perceptions with public affairs and crisis strategist John Blackshaw. From the impact of personal belief systems and the “conglomeratization” of media to AI, John and Roshini examine how these elements work in tandem to undermine the quality of facts. When digital echo chambers prioritize engagement over accuracy, they suggest we reflect on our own information-gathering habits and the ethics of media “spin.” Together, John and Roshini suggest a path forward rooted in high moral standards, honest journalism and a commitment to transparent conversations.
