    Information, Media and Truth in the Post-Truth and Artificial Intelligence Era
    (AAB College, 2025-03-19) International Conference
    Today’s audience has migrated online, where platforms have become central to politics, marketing, journalism, and even extremism. This shift allows citizens to engage directly with political actors and media, but it has also led to increased competition for attention and credibility. While everyone can now reach vast audiences, this has resulted in a "mediatization of everything," where rational claims and facts are often overshadowed by lies, beliefs, and populist rhetoric, undermining democracy. Social media, alongside alternative media, has diminished journalism’s monopoly on information, contributing to the rise of hyperpartisan content and mob censorship. In this "Facebook democracy," emotions and beliefs often take precedence over facts, further fueling political polarization. Meanwhile, artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly integrated into media and public relations, raising concerns about its ethical and social implications. In this context, global events, such as the Ukraine war, are amplified online, blurring the lines between local and global narratives.
