Debatmøde: Fake news kontra god journalistik

Fake news vs. good journalism

 In the current battle between Fake News and good, accurate journalism, how can we ensure that good journalism wins?

Join International Media Support and our Danish and international panel of experts on Wednesday, 5 April to discuss the proliferation of Fake News, and what it means for the erosion of public trust in mainstream media and democratic institutions. What are the tools available to counter this trend, and do they work? What can the world of professional journalists learn from the media situation in Russia, where journalists maneuver in an environment where fake news and kompromat is rife?
