Propaganda masquerading as news, the orchestrated distribution of fake content, the deployment of troll armies to smear journalists and media houses on social media – all tactics in an information war being waged by powerful state and non-state actors with clear and aggressive agendas.

Watch the discussion from the panel session “Journalism Beyond Spin & Propaganda: How Can Truth Stand Out?” held on May 19, 2017 at the IPI World Congress in Hamburg.
