By Paloma Almoguera Southeast Asia Correspondent, EFE, Alexey Kovalev Investigative Editor, Meduza, Nicholas Yong Senior Editor, Yahoo! News Singapore, Eric Wishart Standards and Ethics Editor, AFP, Masato Kajimoto Associate Professor of Practice, Journalism and Media Studies Centre, The University of Hong Kong

This panel takes a deep dive at how governments propagate misinformation and how journalists can navigate this challenging environment and fight back.
