"In a peaceful age I might have written ornate or merely descriptive books," wrote one Eric Arthur Blair, "and might have remained almost unaware of my political loyalties. ... Then came Hitler, the Spanish Civil War, etc. By the end of 1935 I had still failed to reach a firm decision. ... The Spanish war and other events in 1936-37 turned the scale and thereafter I knew where I stood. ... It seems to me nonsense, in a period like our own, to think that one can avoid writing of such subjects." You may not have heard of Mr. Blair, but you have read his novels. His pen-name is Geroge Orwell, and his writing still offers wisdom to anyone, working in any field or medium, who lives in times like these. It's a thin line between post-truth and no truth. This week, learn how to steel yourself for the war on words.
