Ideas worth spreading / CHRISTIANE AMANPOUR / How to seek truth in the era of fake news
Join the conversation
Known worldwide for her courage and clarity, Christiane Amanpour has spent the past three decades interviewing business, cultural and political leaders who have shaped history. In conversation with TED Curator Chris Anderson, Amanpour discusses fake news, objectivity in journalism, the leadership vacuum in global politics and more, sharing her wisdom along the way. 'Be careful where you get information from,' she says. 'Unless we are all engaged as global citizens who appreciate the truth, who understand science, empirical evidence and facts, then we are going to be wandering around -- to a potential catastrophe.'
This talk was presented at an official TED conference, and was featured by our editors on the home page.
