Post Truth: the new war on truth and how to fight back

Hosted by the Department of Government
Wolfson Theatre, New Academic Building
Tuesday 27 Jun 2017 6.30pm - 8pm

One of the UK’s most respected commentators, Matthew d’Ancona, launches a powerful and deeply personal campaign in this urgent fightback manifesto.

A precious value is being eroded – truth. It’s time to leap to its protection. By using the route-map Matthew’s new book Post Truth: The New War on Truth and How To Fight Back provides, we can stand up and fight for it.

Matthew d’Ancona is a British journalist. He writes a weekly column for the Guardian and was previously editor of the Spectator.

Tony Travers is the Director of LSE London, a research centre at the LSE. He is also a Visiting Professor in the LSE’s Department of Government.

The Department of Government (@LSEGovernment) at LSE is one of the largest political science departments in the UK. Our activities cover a comprehensive range of approaches to the study of politics.
