The Eastern Frontier Initiative – TEFI

22. októbra o 10.00 h, Informačné centrum UK, Štúrova 9


Iniciatíva východnej hranice The Eastern Frontier Initiative – TEFI v spolupráci s Katedrou žurnalistiky FiF UK vás pozýva na dve panelové diskusie. 

Prvý panel: How disinformation becomes a tool for autocrats (od 10.00 do 12.00 h)

Moderator: Beata Balogová

Speakers: Vladimír Šnidl (journalist from DennikN focusing on fake news), Martin Hodás (freelance Tech & Disinfo journalist), Blanka Zöldi (editor-in-chief of lakmusz.hu - Hungarian fact-checking site).

Description: Messages that Orban, Fico or Putin are conveying to their voters very often resemble contents of conspiracy channels. This way autocrats legitimize media that do not respect journalistic standards. In Slovakia some of these media are now receiving state support. How does this development impact the society’s relationship to facts? Does this new conspiracy media empire influence the operation of independent media that operates based on journalistic standards? The panel will not only map the development of conspiracy media, but also look at how governments can turn into the biggest disseminators of fake news.

 

Druhý panel: Who is afraid of Russia ( od 14.00 do 16.00 h)

Moderator: Michaela Terenzani

Miroslav Wlachowský (diplomat and an expert on foreign policy), Oľga Gyarfašová (research of citizens' political positions, electoral behavior political culture, gender studies) Bartosz Wielinski (deputy editor-in-chief of the Gazeta Wyborcza)

Description: The countries on NATO's eastern border differ in their attitudes towards Russia. According to a Globsec survey, less than half of the people in Slovakia, Bulgaria and Hungary consider Russia a threat. It is the opposite in Poland, which is also why the public is more inclined to help Ukraine and arming at home.
