At the first edition of ‘The Fifth Power’ Hackathon in 2016 on media education, the teams enrolled in the contest created various digital tools meant to largely provide information about this relatively new field in the Republic of Moldova. After two years, participants focused on dismantling false news and manipulation. What could be the impact of these digital tools and how to make media education more attractive for young people who spend much of their time in the virtual space?

Find out the answers to these questions in a new edition of the Media Azi talk show, moderated by the journalist Anastasia Nani, having Corina Cepoi, director of the Internews representation in Moldova, and Victor Spinu, co-author of the Trolless application, as her guests.
