Fake news is a force to be reckoned with, and satire is just the tool to take it on. In this talk, Matt Daniel explains the difference between fake news and satire - more than just the distant cousin of fake news - and persuades us that this commentary on reality is essential in today’s political climate. Matt Daniel is the founder and editor-in-chief of The Peedmont, an editorial company that publishes satirical news journalism on all things related to Virginia. Matt is a Richmond native that grew up in the West End before studying marketing at VCU. In 2016, he started The Peedmont with the help of a few friends; he now works with a team of contributors based around the state that creates humor-driven satire on culture, places, events, and politics within the commonwealth. Matt believes that comedy and satire can be an accessible way to approach complicated and serious topics in the world today. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
