Why fake news will save democracy
In this presentation, Juan argues that contrary to public perception, the Trumpian onslaught on the media has become its unexpected salvation and, therefore, the guarantor of democratic discourse. Senor’s presentation is a fascinating and engaging narrative most relevant to any human enterprise trying to navigate its way in the age of social media relativity and instant digital opprobrium. Its lessons and insights can help any brand to remain relevant and credible. It reveals how, in an age where everything is true and nothing is true, the truth cannot be manipulated and the media always has the last word.
