Truth Talks: Disinformation in Slovenia

What happens when political narratives, media manipulation, and foreign influence collide? In this episode of Truth Talks, we speak with Anuška Delić, founder and editor-in-chief at Ostro, to uncover the disinformation dynamics in Slovenia. From fake narratives about national safety and migration, to manipulated debates around freedom of speech, Anuška explains how political actors, foreign-linked media portals, and even fake Putin speeches are shaping public opinion. She shares insights on how disinformation circulates through both social media and mainstream outlets, the murky financial ties behind propaganda channels, and why fact-checking alone may not be enough. 🎧 Tune in to learn why Slovenia’s fight against disinformation is both uniquely local and deeply global — and what can still be done to protect democratic public debate.
