UNYP hosted a second public webinar on Fake News and Disinformation

On Wednesday, May 19th, the University of New York in Prague held its second public online event. The webinar focused on helping the public understand what is behind Fake News and misinformation in media. This webinar was hosted by Dr. Todd Nesbitt, the Dean of School of Communication and Media, and Mr. Martin Pavlíček, Managing Director at Havas PR.

Over 100 people attended the event on Zoom and YouTube Live. Dr. Nesbitt started with a comprehensive presentation about the roots of false information in the public. Mr. Pavlíček followed with a more hands-on view from the PR point of view. Both speakers then answered questions from the audience. 

We are delighted that we were able to provide such a helpful event for the general public, and we plan to continue with this mission, as there are many issues that we can potentially explore. You can watch this webinar online on our YouTube channel.
