Truth Hurts – Fabio Spagnoli

-> Truth Hurts,
YOUNG ONES STUDENT AWARDS
2020

Nowadays, trust in mass media is alarmingly low. Furthermore, people get offended when told something they do not like, especially when that something is true.

In order to favor people’s critical thinking, we have decided to launch Truth Hurts, a campaign where The New York Times will reply to unfounded hate messages from social media with truth and publish their apologies everywhere.

During this week, The New York Times' website will be modified by using a filter that will warn readers about truthful content. This means they will have to give their consent in order to read certain articles. This filter will also be included in the newspaper's Instagram feed.

By showing the truth, we got our readers to engage with journalism in a meaningful way. The New York Times’ mission is to cover everything without fear or favor, in order to make society stronger. Even if, sometimes, Truth Hurts.
