Woodstock Canceled? : Zoe Williams

A donor for Woodstock told ABC that Woodstock may be canceled due to the fact that the festival could not live up to the Woodstock name and be safe for all participants.  However, representative of Woodstock itself claims that the show will go on.  Tickets have not gone on sale yet while they figure out some logistical issues.

I thought this article was interesting because it has to do with the manipulation of the media.  In a world where fake news is such a significant worry too such a large portion of the population, it is important to take note of the situation where the media recognizes where they may be being manipulated.  This problem with Woodstock can be related to the recent outbreak at Coachella.

  3. I can see why the issue could relate to the herpes outbreak at Coachella, but I would think it is strange if they completely cancelled Woodstock because of it.
