Online movie-discussion: The line between unbiased media coverage and the encouragement of radical right-wing narratives
Tbilisi. Georgian Institute of Politics (GIP) organized the second online movie-discussion based on the 3 following documentary videos: “Right-wing populists and the EU” by Deutsche Welle (DW), “Georgia’s Rave Revolution” by BBC, and the media report by Radio Liberty titled “Should we are afraid of modern fascism?”.
The aim of the discussion was to understand to what extent could journalists prepare objective and balanced content while broadcasting the narratives and actions of the far-right groups. Also, where is the line between balanced coverage and the encouragement of radical right-wing narratives.
The event was part of the public discussion series “Analysing Illiberal Tendencies in Georgia”. The discussion series, which is financially supported by the Open Society Georgian Foundation (OSGF), aims at revealing the factors causing the emergence of far-right radicalization in Georgia.
