The volume includes the speeches delivered during the conference organized by the Hellenic Parliamentary Foundation for Parliamentarism and Democracy, from 13 to 15 December 2018 in Athens. The texts highlight the complex issue of the interaction between mass media, politics and society. Scholars and journalists of the print and electronic media present their views and reflections on a wide range of questions about the relationship between information and democracy today: the relationship of the press with political institutions, representatives of the state, the legislature and the financial elite, the question of objectivity and ethics, the limits of criticism, censorship and self-censorship in the practice of journalism, the importance and dynamics of new media and social networking, the role of ideology and propaganda, the constructed reality of the so-called “post-truth” and the spread of fake news etc. Apart from the issue regarding the quality of democracy, there is an urgent need to obstruct the distribution of hate speech, sexist or racist stereotypes, etc.
