Evening with Radio Free Europe: Reporting the facts in a world of disinformation

Independent media play a vital role in democratic societies by reporting accurate information, free of government or other influence and pressure. Increasingly, they also play a crucial part in countering disinformation narratives. Independent media are, however, hugely outspent by state actors who invest billions of dollars in disseminating propaganda and exerting malign influence. Join the Václav Havel Library and Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty for a discussion on the challenges of reporting the facts at a time when disinformation and propaganda are on the rise.
