YAAKOV "YANKY" GREENSPAN

WEEKLY FREELY DISTRIBUTED NEWSLETTER BY VETERAN EVENTS ORGANIZER TAKES AIM AT DISINFORMATION AND THE PROPAGATION OF FAKE NEWS

​

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

​

Independent public affairs professional and Israeli-American immigrant Yaakov 'Yanky' Greenspan has announced the launch of REAL NEWS — an e-newsletter dedicated to combatting disinformation and the spread of fake news.

​

Greenspan, who is based in Ramat Beit Shemesh (RBS) near Jerusalem, said that the e-newsletter — which has attracted more than 200 subscribers in the 24 hours since its launch — will offer an alternative and "disarmingly unique" perspective on the current state of the news media.

​

According to Yaakov Greenspan:

​

"The Standard American Media Diet that today's news consumers are used to unconsciously ingesting is saturated with dangerous levels of outlets and journalists that have unannounced political agendas."

​

"The average reader finds themselves unequipped to evaluate the reliability of sources which allows these often nefarious sources to spread and grow their readership. Truth becomes distorted and the value of this vital democratic function becomes undermined. "

"REAL NEWS takes aim at disinformation and the propagation of fake news and provides readers with actionable guidance about which outlets can be trusted — and which can be safely discarded into the trash can of online publishing history."
