About
Disinformation travels faster and farther through social media than facts, making it increasingly difficult for anyone to distinguish between what is true and what is not. Algorithms and AI have contributed to the creation of different realities in which people live- shielded from differing points of view in their personalized information bubble. How can publishing help to create a new sense of belonging to the same reality, to discuss together and ensure everyone feels heard and seen? Only if people continue to put themselves into other people’s shoes, are willing to be uncomfortable with facing different ideas, will they be able feel empathy and care about people different from them.
