Propaganda and disinformation are gaining increasingly more momentum, especially on the social networks. Before, propaganda was used mostly for advertising purposes, today it has penetrated into all pores of society, says journalist Ramush Muarem – Cirko in the interview for CIVIL Media.
He adds that only with a positive and realistic propaganda we can fight against black and bad propaganda.
“During the corona, I published a sarcastic propaganda text on the social networks that “only in Shutka there is no corona”. That propaganda spread very quickly, though, my goal of such propaganda was to indicate that the Roma in Shutka are forgotten by society, by the system”, says Muarem.
He emphasized that only with a strong campaign and media literacy will the citizens be able to get familiarized with the bad side of propaganda and disinformation.
