LucaVanin - It can have the same connotation of untruth in the west; just depends on context (and who's paying!) In Entertainment, of course, no one worries about superficial truth. Even (especially?) in Reality TV. What matters is the universal truth that stories can deliver. That is the real litmus test of truth.
Dolly Bhasin 's curator insight, June 1, 2013 1:06 AM

Excellent article, a must ready for digital story tellers of the 21st century!
