# Truth sandwich | | A **Truth sandwich** is a technique in journalism to cover stories involving misinformation without unintentionally furthering the spread of false or misleading clams. It entails presenting the truth about a subject before covering misinformation, then ending a story by again presenting truth. Margaret Sullivan summarized it as "reality, spin, reality — all in one tasty, democracy-nourishing meal". | |-|-| | | wikipedia:: [Truth sandwich](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truth_sandwich) | > Truth Sandwich: > 1.
