In a world where information has become both a weapon and a rescue tool, keeping an objective news story without traces of misinformation represents the main challenge of journalists.
Thus, the phenomenon of misinformation and manipulation în onlinespace, which has gained momentum recently, is one of the topics that Claudia Nicolae has developed and presented in countless conferences regarding the threats and challenges encountered in cyber space, as a speaker and panelist.
