RT and Sputnik

SK: Blocking RT and Sputnik is not limiting access to information, as these are not independent media but weapons created and lavishly funded by the aggressor. It is blocking agressor state’s weapon on EU territory.
SK:I agree that the post-postmodernist reality has put us in front of a new challenge: while we used to have too little freedom of speech/ access to information and fought to gain more, we have now landed in a situation where we have access to so much information, growing exponentially, that we no longer have the mental capacity or time or resources to discern purposefully false and weaponized statements from true records. What we mostly need is media literacy (stop limiting children’s screen time, let them build up resilience, talk about disinformation) and accessible tools to debunk false information/ disinformation. It’s a huge and difficult dilemma, probably one of the worst of our time, alongside climate change. What I argue about is that now, with the war going on and hundreds of independent Russian journalists having a hard time getting the ends meet and desperately in need of our support, I find it strange that NGOs spend money and human resource on what is essentially helping the aggressor. I know this was not their goal, but this is unfortunately a perfect example of what Lenin called “useful idiots” (people in the West who assisted the bolsheviks without realizing it).

Fundraising and support

Support for journalists, artists and scientists

  • Senior EU official calls for a ‘Radio Free Russia’ to help exiled media Vĕra Jourová says the bloc has a moral duty and the project would not necessarily mean a new station https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jan/27/senior-eu-official-calls-for-a-radio-free-russia-to-help-exiled-media?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
  • https://twitter.com/sophiakornienko/status/1526655159203405825 - Got a reply from @EUparliament Human Rights chair @MariaArenaEU saying immediate measures to grant emergency visas to independent journos/ temp shelter in the EU is a priority. I know many independent Russian information workers have trouble accessing EU visas, grants denied! (17 05 2022)
  • It might be good to add a note somewhere in that list on how the same need is urgent for academics and cultural workers at risk (from Ru & Be, I’d say). No need to expand the initiative, a mere alert/extra sentence would help in flagging this broader need. (Ellen) We are writing an open letter to the ministry of foreign affairs in NL. I already mentioned this here, really need support in placing the letter. We are finishing it on Thursday (Kris)
  • The PEN Charter ~ PEN Ukraine PEN affirms that: Literature knows no frontiers and must remain common currency among people despite political or international upheavals. In all circumstances, and particularly in time of war, works - https://pen.org.ua/en/hartiya

Past

By DMT

Against the backdrop of the war with Ukraine, the Russian government has sharply increased funding for state media, resulting in an unprecedented level of state propaganda spread on social media platforms. As a consequence, US and EU lawmakers and Ukrainian officials have jolted into action by pressuring social media platforms in an attempt to curb Russian misinformation. This seems to be a watershed moment regarding freedom of the press and internet freedom. We discuss what is at stake with internet activists and journalists directly involved in war-news production. https://www.spui25.nl/programma/the-european-internet-blockade-of-russian-propagandist-media

  • Van fact-checking tot argument-checking

Nieuwsverslaggeving lijkt steeds meer op een vorm van oorlog: feiten worden gepareerd met ‘alternatieve feiten’, fake news bestookt voortdurend de mainstream media, en men spreekt zelfs van ‘informatieoorlog’ of ‘informatieterreur’. Kunnen we aan de taal van journalisten en mediaorganisaties nog aflezen of het klopt wat ze zeggen, of is dat onmogelijk geworden? En wat kunnen we doen om de situatie te verbeteren? Vier experts op het gebied van het bestrijden van desinformatie gaan hierover met elkaar in gesprek. https://spui25.nl/programma/van-fact-checking-tot-argument-checking
