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. How can quality journalism counter the propaganda and disinformation? How can we make truth stand out?

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.
