In recent years the worldwide subversion of facts for political purposes has become a critical challenge – across elections, a pandemic and now a major European war. What is the difference between information, disinformation and misinformation? What do we know about who is doing what, how and why, and how might we counter the rising tide? Defence strategist and author David Kilcullen, researcher and author of A Matter of Fact Jess Berentson-Shaw, and investigative journalist and author of Truthteller Stephen Davis, come together in conversation with Kate Hannah to interrogate manipulation, unrest and the seemingly doomed quest for harnessing truth.
