Transparency and freedom of information in times of war. To know, to understand. Truth and light on the facts as an indispensable element in disarming words and disarming the world. How storytelling helps peace, dialogue, and brotherhood. It can be done, it is possible, and the responsibility of those who work in the media is growing every day. The value of competence, in-depth analysis, credibility, and a third-party perspective in the age of social media domination, superficiality, and haters. Leading representatives of the world’s media answered these questions and helped define the human aspect of the message that the public receives hour by hour.
