SeeCheck PodFact EP7: Narratives around Covid - 19 Aid on the Balkans

👉 Fake news and disinformations related to the pandemic are a global problem that has not passed our region in the past year. Besides the disinformation, there was a propaganda related to the provided assistance

SEE Check PodFact EP6: Da li brojevi mogu da lažu?

Fizičar Milovan Šuvakov izračunao je da je šansa da u Srbiji 30 dana zaredom, raspon preminulih od posledica kovida 19 bude između 13 i 17 - jedan prema 3,5 milijarde. Dokaza da sa zvanično saopštenim podacima o žrtvama koronavirusa u Srbiji, nešto nije u redu ima više. Novinari KRIK-a pitaju sagovornike da li je da li je opravdano sumnjati u zvanične podatke preminulih u Srbiji?

SEE Check PodFact EP5: Laici kao korona influenseri

Uzroke i posledice pandemije virusa korona pokušali su da objasne, osim eksperata, i mnogi laici koji su samouvereno govorili o temama u koje se nimalo ne razumeju. U okviru 5. epizode SEE Check PodFact-a FakeNews Tragač traži odgovore na sledeća pitanja: - U kakvu nas je poziciju dovela atmosfera u kojoj je važnije biti glasan nego stručan? - Kakve su se logičke greške mogle uočiti u argumentaciji laika? - Mogu li šarlatani snositi odgovornost za neistine kojima ugrožavaju javno zdravlje? Poslušajte odgovore naših sagovornika/ca, novinarki Tijane Cvjetićanin (Raskrinkavanje) i Ivane Živković (Faktograf.hr), kao i epidemiologa Zorana Radovanovića, psihologa Vladimira Mihića, sociologa Darija Hajrića, komunikološkinje Jelene Kleut i medijskog eksperta Saše Mirkovića.

SEE Check PodFact EP4: Koliko je opasno biti sam svoj ljekar u doba pandemije?

U četvrtoj epizodi Podfacta, regionalnog podcasta nastalog u okviru SEE Check mreže portala za provjeru činjenica, Raskrinkavanje.me postavlja pitanje koliko je opasno biti sam svoj ljekar u doba pandemije? *** I više od godinu dana nakon početka pandemije, dezinformatori ne odustaju od plasiranja neistina. U slučaju “čudotvornih lijekova”, moglo bi se reći da ne odustaju od igranja sa tuđim životima, jer, kako su to jasno rekli naši sagovornici, koji su svoje živote i karijere posvetili zaštiti zdravlja – liječenje bez konsultacija može biti jako opasno. *** Ovu važnu temu smo obrađivali kroz zanimljive komentare epidemiologa iz Institut za javno zdravlje Crne Gore, Milka Joksimovića, kao i toksikološkinje doktorke Sandre Đuranović. O iskustvima iz Srbije, Bosne i Hercegovine, i Slovenije na ovom polju pričali smo i sa kolegama iz regiona. Raskrinkavanje, Razkrinkavanje i FakeNews Tragač. ****
