This talk pieces together images and quotes from Nabeel Khan's documentaries, combined with his media research at London School of Economics, to help us rethink how to report when people no longer wish to talk to one another, and only express their own perspectives. Could the role of the news and reporting be reimagined to tackle the dysfunction of fake news and misinformation in free societies? The talk advocates for a new approach to objectivity - 'perspective-driven objectivity', a way to use empathy to rethink how to report in a post truth age.

Nabeel is a British-born Kashmiri who lived in four different countries; he was founder as a social entrepreneur, has a passion for filmmaking, and investigating the contradictions in human behaviour. He studied Philosophy, Politics, and Media, and his research at the London School of Economics currently focuses on propaganda, fake news, post-truth, and political communication. His TED talk presents a collection of screenshots and quotes from his short documentary series covering protests during the pandemic. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
