Time has always posed challenges for those who work in the media industry. Such a complex field has a great number of interrelated components – from social change to revolutionary advances in technology.
We suggest taking a look at social processes in a much broader way by studying journalism, media management, directing, editing, the stages of the creative process, and the production cycle of creating a media product – simply put, everything that can be called journalism, media, and communications.

Because in the “post-truth” era everyone can become a newsmaker, fake news has been an urgent problem. Social media allows the fast proliferation of fakes. Unfortunately, the audience and even media professionals often lacks media literacy to distinguish fake news from the truth. Professional media platforms may not only use unverified information from unreliable sources but also amplify its dissemination. This often results in inadequate media agenda and human rights violations.
Can we and should we fight fake news by legal means? How could we balance between the protection of the right to freedom of expression and other legitimate rights and freedoms as well as interests? Are content removals and website blocking admissible measures from the vision of the international legal standards? These and other issues will be considered at the lecture.
The lecture will be held in English without translation. It is conducted within the course titled, Entertainment Law, that is taught by Elena Sherstoboeva, an Associate Professor of Media Department.
Address: 2/8 Khitrovsky per., build. 5, classroom 405
