Live | How to debunk far-right talking points

It’s a well-documented phenomenon: right-wing populist politicians and aligned media outlets are waging a campaign of disinformation across Europe. The usual themes? Climate change, migration, gender and LGBT+ rights. The result is a distortion of the debate on these hot-button issues.

Such disinformation is damaging to democracy. To fight it, Solomon has joined forces with European outlet VoxEurop and Italy’s Internazionale in the transnational factchecking initiative RightWatch.

Our aim is to provide reliable, evidence-based information on these issues for citizens, journalists, policy-makers and civil society as a whole in France, Italy and Greece.

Join here.

Together with Annalisa Camilli from Internazionale and Stavros Malichudis from Solomon, who have both worked on the project, we will discuss concrete ways for journalists to counter myths and lies in a Live event on Tuesday 30 September at 1:30pm CEST.

The discussion will take place in English, with simultaneous translation into French and Italian, and will be moderated by Catherine André and Gian-Paolo Accardo.

This event is the fruit of a partnership of the European Media and Information Fund, Internazionale, VoxEurop and Solomon.
