International Symposium on Media and Disinformation
Three Halifax-based media
organizations, including this magazine, have come together to organize
an international symposium on the media and disinformation this
coming June 30 - July 4. That disinformation exists is well established. The international situation has become increasingly dangerous, filled with tension between the peoples and the big powers and amongst the big powers themselves. Disinformation has emerged as one of their most powerful weapons against peace and humanity. |
