The Politics of Information Manipulation: State-Controlled Media in Russia
with
Arturas Rozenas
The presentation will review recent academic research on Russia's state-controlled media. How does Russian state-controlled media present information on political and economic affairs? How does that information affect the attitudes and behavior of citizens in Russia and beyond? What is the broader significance of information manipulation for the domestic politics in Russia and for international affairs.
