Rob Wijnberg

Rob Wijnberg is a Dutch journalist, philosopher, and author, known for co-founding the news platform 'De Correspondent.' At 42, he gained recognition as the Journalist of the Year in the Netherlands in 2013. Wijnberg's work often explores the concept of truth, particularly in the context of contemporary societal challenges. His recent book, 'Ruinen der Wahrheit' (Ruins of Truth), delves into the crisis of truth in today's world, examining how it has shifted from a collective societal value to a more subjective and personal construct. He argues that this shift has rendered society less capable of effectively responding to pressing ecological and political issues.
