Lindley Gooden Introduces: The Future Of Truth

Thursday 23 May at 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm
Join Broadcaster, Director and Journalist Lindley Gooden as he introduces his new book: The Future Of Truth

We need to talk.

It’s all so very human. We’re perfectly attuned to absorb information packed tightly into the stories that we share. It’s just our thing. Stories have been the warm embrace holding small groups of people together for tens of thousands of years. They’re our creative spark, our place in the world. They’re new, they’re exciting, and they’re really, really scary. The catastrophic problem is that, in our modern age of false information and fake news, they’ve also become incredibly bad for our health.

The Future of Truth (and How to Get There) explains why we’ve fallen so hard for mis- and dis-information, and how to find our way back from the brink, to a happier, healthier conversation with each other.

Lindley Gooden is the Founder and Cheerleader-in-Chief of Greenscreen. He and his colleagues have helped some of the world’s best known organisations to tell their stories with authenticity, clarity and confidence since 2005.

Lindley has spent more than 30 years in news and information – with an emphasis on storytelling ethics. He has interviewed more than 50,000 people involved in world-changing events, breaking stories and daily news.

In broadcasting, he was a Senior Journalist, a Consumer, Technology and Finance correspondent for the UK’s national news organisations including the BBC, ITV and Sky News before working with organisations that want to tell their stories differently. His work has often required him to challenge misleading information, both as a journalist and as a communicator in business.

Outside the day job, Lindley has trained generations of journalists.

He has mentored presenters and correspondents, lectured postgraduate journalism at leading British universities, and has helped national print, online and broadcast journalists to fine tune their skills worldwide.

He has also advised organisations in the news about how to communicate to a higher standard with passion, integrity, and skill.
