Join us for an in depth discussion on the overwhelm of fake news and conflictual media, how it makes us feel and what we can do about it to protect ourselves. Joining Sandra this time is Georgios Terzis, Professor in Communications and Ethics at the Brussels School of Governance. 

Throughout his long and rich academic career Georgios has centred his research on media and security, media ethics, media governance, journalism and participatory communication, disinformation and media literacy, risk and crisis communication, science communication and diplomacy, cultural diplomacy, the role of art and culture in conflict resolution, and the right not to access the internet.
