From propaganda to truth: engaging undemocratic audiences in times of war and fake news

With Ilona Vinogradova

How to rebuild trust and maintain audience engagement with people living under the bombardment of state propaganda, which often portrays independent or foreign media as “fake news”, “foreign agents”, or “enemies”? Inspirational and solution-focused talk based on my recent work and interviews with over 50 journalists, producers and editors from diverse countries, such as Afghanistan, Sudan, Russia, China, Hong Kong, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Burma, Mexico, Iran and many others.
