Join us for this special live recording of Burning Platforms, supported by Democracy Counts.

In a world of relative facts and filter bubbles how do we build a common base of reality to anchor democracy?

Burning Platforms will bring themes from the ABC series ‘A Matter of Facts’ to life in a fun and interactive live event that will challenge you to pick the truth from the lies.

Featuring:

Hamish Macdonald, award-winning journalist
Lizzie O’Shea, Co-founder and Chair of Digital Rights Watch
Jess Scully, Executive Director of RadicalXChange
Emma McDonald, Media Lawyer, policy, regulatory and communications executive
Professor Leo Robba and social design students from Western Sydney University

Hosted by Essential’s Peter Lewis, and supported by Democracy Counts, we’ll explore what it means for democracy when so much of the content we’re consuming blurs the lines between fact and fiction, when our shared sense of reality becomes fractured.
