Latvian Public Media (LSM) journalists, editors and presenters explain how they verify information and make editorial decisions in a 13-video series, LSM reports. The series aims to help the public understand the value of reliable information and LSM’s role in strengthening resilience in Latvia’s information space.
The videos cover topics ranging from how news is produced and sources are assessed to recognising disinformation and distinguishing facts from opinions and commentary. They also examine why journalists need more than one source and how LSM corrects errors.
Other videos look at how LSM creates content for different audiences, covers regional issues and supports Latvian and Latgalian-language content. The series also discusses inclusive reporting, why the newsroom does not cover everything that appears in public discussion, and how LSM encourages people to take an interest in elections and avoid mistakes as voters.
The videos feature journalists including Agnija Lazdiņa, Krišs Kairis, Toms Putniņš, Tālijs Eipurs, Anastasija Brikmane, Marta Cerava, Anita Brauna, Arta Skuja, Madara Bērtiņa, Jeļena Hrapovicka, Maija Upeniece, Paula Dēvica and Jānis Domburs.
