Pay Attention
The disinformation age is drowning us in a deluge of data—facts and opinion. It consumes our attention. The result of this deficit of attention is the rise of fake news, media bias, and polarised society. It may feel like we are making our own well-informed decisions. More often than not that is an illusion driven by the narrative machine. Pay Attention unravels the truth about the power of media narratives, the breakdown in trust, and why our attention has been diverted from what matters. This book offers 101 ways in which each of us can fight back.
