Behind the Information Iron Curtain
What is the role of the media in geopolitics?
An information iron curtain has fallen across large parts of the globe, where access to impartial news reporting and information has never been more difficult. With the help of 主播大秀 specialists, Ros and Katie consider the impact of censorship and technological controls on Russia, Iran and China; how ingrained state disinformation has become and how it has distorted their citizens鈥� perception of the world. Our panel also look at attempts to circumvent internet blocking and state restrictions on free media, from the use of VPNs by those on the inside, to the innovative tactics adopted by outsiders who are trying to deliver truthful news to an often indoctrinated audience.
