Communicative Spaces and the Challenge of Disinformation Campaigns
Friday, November 4, 2022, 2 – 4 pm
Open Society Foundations, Jägerstr. 54, 10117 Berlin
Language: English
Digital spaces are playing an increasingly important role in communication. But they are at least as vulnerable or complex. Digital disinformation campaigns are powerful and contribute to strong polarization – in individual societies, but also globally. The role of the (contested) digital information space is, for instance, evident in the war in Ukraine.
Can digital communicative spaces be an effective means against disinformation campaigns, or are there better alternatives? What role does strategic communication play in foreign cultural and educational policy? How does strategic communication differ from cultural discourse spaces? Who are the interlocutors in the different cases, and how are they approached?
Our Panelists:
- Goran Buldioski (Director of Program – Open Society Foundations Europe Central Asia)
