"Propaganda and disinformation create societal divisions and move the conversation from the inhumanity of war to something that’s more like political football." - @JaneLytv in conversation with Mediachecker

[Mediachecker @Media_Checker]

"Start paying attention to the media outlets who are on the ground, to reporters who are on the ground, and who are doing work that you respect and start following them individually because that will help counter some of the disinformation that you see." - @JaneLytv

"Five years ago, I could not have imagined reporters calling satellite companies for the latest satellite imagery.
Five years ago, most visual investigation teams didn’t exist.
It was something that was a niche for nerds." - @JaneLytv in conversation with Mediachecker

"One of the best counters to disinformation and propaganda that we've seen is people genuinely sharing their honest stories." - @JaneLytv in conversation with Mediachecker about countering disinformation.

Tbilisi court sentences 6 persons to 5 years in prison for attacking @TvPirveli cameraman Lekso lashkarava on July 5th at @TbilisiPride counter-rally.

Lashkarava was found dead at his home on July 11.

But still, organizers of the violent rally remain unpunished. @RSF_inter

კიევის სატელევიზიო ანძის დაბომბვის შედეგად Live TV-ის ოპერატორი ევგენი საკუნი დაიღუპა.

Q: Should not the media be critical of the government?

Papuashvili: No.

Q: Why do you say that?

Papuashvili: Because, in general, you must be critical towards the world. To government, to opposition, to the schools…
