His research project “Disinfo Expertise in the Media Cold War” attempts to tackle two timely issues: the decline of traditional media and discussions on post-truth as part of an increasingly visible collision between Russia and the liberal order. Using the rich case-study provided by European media coverage of Russia’s activities in the information sphere, and mobilizing content analysis, in-depth interviews and ethnography, this project explores how the sudden, and global concern with disinformation is transforming journalism. By revealing the networks of expertise behind this transformation, Zoltán hopes to bring to the fore some of the most consequential changes undergoing the world of legacy journalism.
He will stay two years at the ORM as FSR postdoctoral researcher under the supervision of prof. Grégoire Lits.
