The war on truth is a pressing issue in our society, with liars often succeeding in their efforts to manipulate and conceal the truth. This has led to a proliferation of weapons in the hands of those with power, wealth, and political influence, including the ability to bury, warp, and twist the truth to suit their purposes.
Truthteller, a groundbreaking book by investigative reporter Stephen Davis, exposes this toolbox of lies and deception and reveals how governments and corporations have covered up mass murder, corruption, and catastrophe. In a world where Putin and Trump have successfully branded journalists as traffickers in fake news, while promoting the actual creators of fake news, Davis provides a comprehensive analysis of the tools used to deceive us and explains why they work.
Drawing from over three decades of experience as an award-winning reporter, editor, foreign correspondent, television producer, documentary filmmaker, and journalism educator, Davis offers exclusive documents and interviews to provide a deep understanding of the deception in media across the globe. He highlights shocking details of deception in countries such as Russia, the United States, and the United Kingdom, and explains how to recognise and decode the lies we are told by those in power.
Truthteller is an essential guide for anyone who wants to understand the modern media world, particularly teachers, students, and concerned citizens who seek to know the facts rather than fake news and conspiracy theories. It provides an intimate history of a reporter's battles, won and lost, the personal and professional costs, and the lives damaged along the way.
In conclusion, the war on truth is a significant threat to our society, and it is essential that we remain vigilant in our pursuit of the truth. Truthteller provides a valuable tool for understanding the modern media world and the tactics used by those who seek to deceive us. By reading this book, we can gain a deeper understanding of the issues and challenges facing our world, and work towards creating a more informed and transparent society.
