Georgia has its own prescription: the government, activists, and media have started vaccinating society against disinformation.
Georgian media and civil society organizations are working to ensure that the whole society – from students to farmers in remote mountain regions – have access to factual and accurate information about Europe and their own country. Often that leads to close cooperation with teachers, priests, and other community leaders whose voices are louder than the disinformation noise. Meanwhile, Georgian myth-detectors and other fact-checkers continue to fight disinformation with facts and enhanced media literacy.
And while there is no quick remedy for the disinformation contagion, Georgians, like most of us, know that prevention is the best medicine.
Take a look below at other cases uncovered this week!
