Hey journalists and Russianists! I started a newsletter on all things media and Russia-related, naturally called From Russia With Mila. Sign up here: emilykohlman.substack.com
The @DhakaTribune republished our @blackbird_ai blog by @emkohlman about the narrative attacks created by misinformation and disinformation campaigns to create division and unrest. This is a stark reminder of how disinformation is increasingly used to manipulate public opinion and destabilize societies. Our teams work to identify and mitigate these narrative attacks before they can cause real harm. It’s more important than ever for security leaders to be proactive in combating these threats.

Thankful for @PSUBellisario faculty member Tony Barbieri, who escorted me literally (today at graduation #1) and figuratively-- as I follow in his footsteps to become a foreign correspondent in Eastern Europe!
