The pandemic has laid bare the true toll of misinformation. So in a brand new series of RN Presents, we're delving into how people come to believe things that aren't true.
What's in it for those who spread misinformation, and can we 'immunise' against it?
How do people fall down rabbit holes online, and what happens to the family and friends left behind?
Check out the brand new podcast This Much Is True, which takes you to some of the weirdest corners of the internet, and how they manifest offline.
Then, check out the new, explosive revelations from the Unravel investigation into journalist Juanita Nielsen's disappearance. We bring you the untold story of John Innes, who as a uni student spent three months in jail for NSW Police, and extracted a shocking confession from a prime suspect behind Nielsen's suspected murder.
Our thoughts are with everyone in lockdown. We hope our Big Weekend of Books next weekend will give you the opportunity to take part in a writers' festival once again — from home.
We've just revealed the extensive program of talks with top local and international writers, including Holly Ringland, Colm Toibin, Alice Pung, Douglas Stuart, Lisa Taddeo, Andrew O'Hagan, Marina Warner, Craig Silvey, David Mitchell, Imran Mahmood, Brendan Cowell, and many more.
Invite your friends through our Facebook event and start planning which sessions you'll tune in for.
Until then,
Annika Blau, RN digital editor
