Martin Herem will leave his post as head of the defense forces earlier than expected, so that the new leader can better prepare the defense forces in case of a threat.

It is easier for the adversary to organize information attacks against a restless and fragile society. What to do to survive in the information noise and not fall victim to information attacks and propaganda?

Annika Arras explains the prevailing complex communication problem: on the one hand we have to say that war in Estonia will not come if we prepare properly. On the other hand, to prepare ourselves adequately, we must make others understand that war could come and that the situation is serious. How to find a balance between these two messages? How to keep messages clear and honest without creating panic in society?
Anna-Kaisa Oidermaa explains how the latest war news has affected people and how to deal with excessive anxiety. How to distinguish important information from other noise and avoid panic?
We will talk more about this and other events that have happened in Estonia and elsewhere in recent weeks in the podcast “False information: exposed!”.
The podcast “Misinformation: Exposed!” It’s been on the air for over a week. You can listen to previous episodes on Delfi Pocket, Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
