Information War with Liz Wahl and Jessikka Aro

Liz Wahl and Jessikka Aro discuss how information warfare has evolved since Russia’s first invasion of Ukraine in 2014. They cover Russian moles in newsrooms, how RT modeled itself after Fox and vice versa, and Jessikka’s victory of being the first journalist in the EU to unmask and hold a Kremlin troll accountable in court. Welcome to the first episode of Information War, your hub for the pro-truth, pro-democracy movement.  Support information warrior Jessikka Aro by buying her book, Putin's Trolls, here: https://www.amazon.com/Putins-Trolls-Frontlines-Russias-Information/dp/1632461293

Om Podcasten

We’re Liz Wahl and Jessikka Aro. We’ve been on the front lines of the information war for nearly a decade. In the courtroom, on the air, online, and at venues around the world, we’ve been exposing conspiracy, extremist, and disinformation movements mobilized by Russia and other authoritarians to break down democracy. This podcast tracks and exposes Russian influence operations against Ukraine and the world's democracies. Understanding Russian disinformation as it wages a full scale war on Ukraine and information war globally is essential to countering it.
