Fake News and Fiction with Hannah Kim

What is the difference between fake news and fiction? While we tend to deplore fake news, we often enlist fiction in the forms of stories, films, and literature to provide entertainment as well as moral and aesthetic edification. And yet, we also associate fake news with powerful political narratives. Prof. Hannah Kim (Macalester College) discusses the way facts relate to both mediums and what we can do to mitigate the problems of disinformation. Living Philosophy is brought to you by Philosophy2u.com.Host:Dr Todd MeiSponsors:Philosophy2u.comHillary Hutchinson, Career and Change Coach at Transitioning Your LifeMartin Bunzl, author of Thinking while WalkingHermeneutics in Real LifeGeoffrey Moore, author of The Infinite StaircaseLinks Related to this Episode:Hannah Kim (personal website)Philosophy of FictionAmie L.
