Being truthful in the disinformation age (MO*)
Speakers: Nathalie Van Raemdonck (VUB), Eva Davidova (Amnesty International) and Kyrill Hartog (Are We Europe)
Language: English
Together with a panel of communication professionals and experts, Jago Kosolosky (editor-in-chief MO*) will reflect on how to thrive in the disinformation age without telling lies. For today, lies always spread faster than the truth and seem more pervasive and long-lasting than ever.
When nobody believes in the concept of truth and when fact-free politics take hold, liars with financial or ideological agendas take advantage. However, we are not helpless and can successfully go against the grain.
