DESCRIPTION:Academic\, former journalist and activist Ayala Panievsky disc
 usses her book\, _The New Censorship: How the War on the Media Is Taking U
 s Down_.\n\nIn _The New Censorship_\, Ayala Panievsky focuses on the unfor
 tunate and unexpected mechanisms through which today’s media has inadver
 tently amplified the anti-democratic movement that looms over our societie
 s. From the birth of ‘the strategic bias’ to weaponising liberal norms
  against liberal democracy\, the populist right has found a way to exercis
 e a more effective and socially acceptable type of silencing and manipulat
 ion.\n\nBased on cutting-edge empirical research\, personal experience in 
 newsrooms and parliament corridors and a decade of living under populism i
 n power in Israel\, Panievsky will not only explain how we got here but al
 so lay out what we all could (and should) do to restart the conversation a
 nd protect our right to know.\n\nShe will be in conversation with Professo
 r Ella McPherson.\n\n\n"Register here":https://panievsky-book-talk.eventbr
