Voices from the Periphery: Media and disinformation within the European context
Global dialogues on peace, democracy and diversity
The first of the Voices From the Periphery: Global dialogues on peace, democracy and diversity debate of the season is devoted to discuss about the freedom of expression and information, the information monopolies and the politics of disinformation and fake news in the European context.
A roundtable of experienced journalists will discuss these issues, each bringing their unique and valuable experience. Bruno Amaral de Carvalho is a Portuguese journalist that has been working as a war reporter from Ukraine, covering the Russian invasion in the country. María Obelleiro is the director at Nós Diario’s, while Martxelo Otamendi is a historical figure of Basque journalism. From his experience as director of Euskaldunon Egunkaria, he has first hand experience of press censorship and the restriction of the freedoms of press and expression. Tomeu Martí, director of Ona Mediterrànea, will speak on his research on the flood of fake news during the Catalan Referendum in 2017.
The roundtable will be presented and moderated by Ana Miranda Paz (TBC), EFA MEP and member of the Bloque Nacionalista Galego.
