Synopsis

Does ‘fake news’ really exist? Find out from the ultimate insider.

After years of working as a respected journalist, Nick Davies, in this shocking exposé, reveals what really goes on behind the scenes of this contentious industry.

‘Powerful and timely...his analysis is fair, meticulously researched and fascinating’ Observer
