Lying is Not Journalism and the Difference Between Gonzo Journalism and Disinformation with Lauren Windsor

Jan 27, 2026

Lauren Windsor, political journalist and documentarian, joins Deepak Puri, CEO of The Democracy Labs, to talk about gonzo journalism and the need to report on a story with integrity and commitment to the truth. She draws a sharp distinction between her work and that of people who use deceptive tactics to appeal to less media-savvy audiences and create a false narrative. 

Deepak and Lauren talk about:

  • The value of undercover reporting to hold politicians accountable
  •  Rules of the road for activist journalists
  •  Advice for victims of deceptive video campaigns
  •  Lauren's documentary Gonzo for Democracy
