The coronavirus pandemic has brought a surge in so-called "fake news" and "conspiracy theories".

This webinar, hosted by Carmine Rodi Falanga, covered some of the latest stories, discussing how knowledge and the practice of old and new storytelling techniques can be effective tools against the spread of such narratives along with teaching valuable skills for navigating the media and information landscapes.
