Cyril and Methodius in Trnava, Slovakia * This publication is a comprehensive account of the dilemmas facing institutions and professionals engaged in combat against disinformation. It provides an account of the legal framework, as well as limitations in its application, related to the preservation of fundamental rights such as freedom of expression. The unique value of this book is in the variety of case studies, coming from a broad range of European media and political contexts, both East- and West European. This book is essential reading for professionals (journalists, policy-makers) interested in preserving the quality of the infosphere. * Michal Wenzel, Professor of Sociology, SWPS University in Warsaw, Poland *
