SputnikPro Expands Ties With Universities in Bangladesh

During the event, the media group’s Advisor Oleg Dmitriev offered his listeners an insight into the topic of fake news and shared fact-checking tips. He also answered questions from the audience about technology innovation in the media and the way AI affects fake news and their circulation.

“I really enjoyed the conversation with our colleagues from Bangladesh. I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that they are interested in learning more about our country at a time when so much information about Russia, our people and culture is being suppressed or cancelled, and I could see that this was a genuine interest on their behalf,” Oleg Dmitriev said following the workshop.
