EU Multi-stakeholder Conference on Fake news

Centre Albert Borschette rue Froissart, 36, Brussels, Belgium

"Fake news" is currently being discussed in sensitive contexts such as the US Presidential elections, Brexit and after EU electoral campaigns.

With Galizia’s murder and the ongoing cases against the LuxLeaks whistleblowers and Julian Assange, the EU still has a long way to go in offering proper protection for journalists and whistleblowers. In honour of Daphne Caruana Galizia, the European United Left / Nordic…
