It’s an age of accelerated information and information overload. The rate and way in which we receive information has changed dramatically: from newspapers and radio and a few nightly news programmes to constant news online. We have made our lives available to the world in “tweetable” moments.

As much as we try to stop consuming the vast amounts of info coming at us, we wrestle against a paranoia of ‘missing out’ on important information or being out of the loop on something. How can we rest from information, take a Sabbath for our technology or information use? How does this help us to become the right kind of factivist? The onus is more and more on us to find “the truth” and to be aware of our own biases in what we share and don’t.

Join Jun Young, an award-winning entrepreneur and communications strategist, and David Kinnaman, the President of Barna Group, as they wrestle through what our responsibility looks like in how we read and disseminate information.
