Reporters Without Borders on debunking Russian propaganda and fake news
In the words of Antoine Bernard, disinformation is "the kingdom of confusion". The director of advocacy and assistance at Reporters Without Borders (RSF) spoke to FRANCE 24 about the organisation's project to fight fake news and analyse the geopolitics of propaganda: The Propaganda Monitor. In its first "season", the project is focusing on Russian propaganda, which Bernard says has "gained a lot of traction" since the start of the war in Ukraine. He speaks of an intricate disinformation "apparatus" in which fake news is "laundered, propelled and amplified" by the Russian government.
