Letter to the Editor - fake news, Gareth Mobley

Dear Ian,

Since President Trump started labelling people, news organisations and news he didn't like as 'fake news' the phrase has been in the news. It's one of the internet's favourite memes.

Senior advisor to the President, Kellyanne Conway's concept of 'alternative facts' is also trending. But made-up news, distortions and lies used to deceive, dissemble and confuse are common, and as old as the hills.

It's also more common than we'd like in our own industry.

Sincerely,

Gareth Mobley,
CEO, Solidor & Residor
