SEATTLE — As the digital world and the internet grow, so does information. However, we cannot always believe everything we see online. Even worse, information online can sometimes be used as a weapon -- meaning every opinion can have real-world consequences.

Peter Pomerantsev joins New Day Northwest to discuss his new book "This Is Not Propaganda: Adventures in the War Against Reality" and how truth, opinion, and misinformation are blurring together more and more.

EVENT INFO: Peter is holding an Author Talk at The Forum in Seattle on September 10 at 6 pm.
