Fakes: control on the line
The last few months, Ukraine is at the epicenter of the information war. And one of the most frequently used its tools are fakes. In this case it is not about fake celebrity pages in social networks or fake sites. Much greater danger today is spreading false information that floods primarily Internet, and then is picked up by other media, and can wreak panic, generate aggression, lack of understanding, reinforcing the negative processes in society in the whole.
Fake technologies are widely used to manipulate public conscience and opinion, modeling certain situations and reactions to them, escalating the situation, etc. All this we are able to observe firsthand. The problem is obvious: you must learn to «filter» information in order not to turn into puppets, dancing under someone else's tune and dutifully performing other people's orders.
On the types of fakes, about those who are behind them, on how to avoid becoming a victim of fake epidemic and many other topics participants of the panel discussion «Fake-epidemic: how to distinguish between shades of gray?» will talk over. Among them the most famous top pranker in CIS Vovan222; co-founder of the Information Space Control Group «Fake Control» Mikhail Bortnik and project editor Elena Bulygina; chief editor of the internet newspaper «Urban DoZor» Rostislav Kasyanenko; Director at Mohyla School of Journalism, the head of the doctoral program (PhD) in Mass Communications at the National University of «Kyiv-Mohyla Academy» Yevhen Fedchenko and managing partner at conflict PR agency «PR i Z» Zahar Chistyakov.
We remind you that XII International PR-Festival will be held on April 10-11 at the Radisson Blu Hotel (22, Yaroslaviv Val St). Initiator is Ukrainian PR-League. Official organizing partner – PR-Service Agency.
