Deputy Speaker Milicevic at Roundtable on Media Wars and Combating Fake News

On day two of the Forum “Development of Parliamentarism” in Moscow, National Assembly Deputy Speaker Djordje Milicevic took part in the roundtable on media wars and combating fake news.

He said that the internet and modern communication technologies have significantly changed the media and spread of information. The Deputy Speaker said that the very phrase “fake news” is a contradiction in terms because news is a new, correct and precise information which is something “fake news” definitely is not, stressing that the general public needs to be protected from fake news and the spread of an uncritical public opinion so as to protect the public sphere from the spread of disinformation. He also stressed that media literacy needs to be made part of formal education.
