Fake news campaigns were started as early as the 1960s by corporate lawyers working for the producers of DDT and for the tobacco and fossil fuel industries. Via personal attacks and claims of fraudulent data, their aim was to discredit scientists that showed the damage they were doing. With the advent of the internet, social media and for-profit news, this framework has become dominant. Learn how to see through the lies and get the facts.

George Magakis

George Magakis, PhD, Licensed Psychologist; I have had 221 letters to the editor published on current events in the NY Times, NY Times Book Review, Washington Post, Philadelphia Inquirer, USA Today, Miami Herald, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Kansas City Star, Chicago Tribune, Cleveland Plain Dealer, New Yorker, and Richmond Free Press. All dealt with current events. In getting these letters published I learned what editors are looking for and how to write a compelling letter that is likely to get published. In the past, I have taught college level courses in psychology.
