Description
| Summary: | "The stories a society chooses to tell, and the people who get to tell their stories, become the filters through which we understand the world. In today's often contentious environment, tweets and sound bites that agitate and inflame readily become more influential than stories anchored in data and designed to find common ground. When public discourse is distorted, social institutions lose their capacity to foster well-being. Building policy on information that has been cherry-picked to advance a single perspective does not serve the broader social good, but instead leads people to conclude that their perspectives are not valued or even legitimate. When this happens, they can lose faith in our social and economic institutions"--
