Are standard media losing the war against disinformation? [Livestream from the GLOBSEC Forum]

Can media alone fight against fake news? How misinformation changes the role of media? Watch the TEFI pannel "The Media's Fight Against Information Overload & Smear" straight from the GLOBSEC Forum.

Fight against misinformation is not a journalistic issue any more. Media alone cannot win these battles. Yet, fake news poses serious dilemmas on newsrooms: how to balance between the roles of gatekeeper, agenda setter and debunker of misinformation. How to fight disinformation when governments are becoming the biggest disinformation and hoax spreaders? How should European institutions join this fight?

Speakers of the pannel are journalists from Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovakia. Their publishing houses join forces in The Eastern Frontier Initiative (TEFI). They made it their mission to inform the public of security threats facing EU countries on borders with Ukraine in the years to come.
