Disinformation, polarization, rewriting of history and the rise of populist autocracy. These are global trends shaping all of our lives, but many of them are first tried and tested in faraway places. Georgia is the frontline of all of these crises. Georgian journalist Natalia Antelava has been tracking many of these trends through the work of Coda Story, an award-winning newsroom she founded in 2017. In this conversation we explore how Coda's approach to disinformation in respect to Georgia’s rich history and recent turbulent past can teach us about the undercurrents that are shaping all of our societies.
