Dear friends, on Sunday, November 1, 2020, on the Romanian Radio Day, we will also be celebrating Listener\u2019s Day here on Radio Romania International.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
2020 has been a special year for the entire world. Our lives have been turned upside down by the COVID-19 pandemic. The restrictive measures taken by the authorities and the existence of an invisible enemy have fundamentally affected our habits. Physical distancing, wearing protective masks, strict hygiene rules, online courses, work from home are now our daily routine.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
Isolated in our homes during the periods of lockdown, unable to see our friends and relatives, to go to a restaurant or show or to travel abroad, we needed and still need real, verified information. Unfortunately, during the pandemic, fake news, disinformation, sensational news, unverified information, released deliberately or not, mainly through social media networks, have simply skyrocketed.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
In this year\u2019s edition of Listener\u2019s Day on RRI we invite you to share with us what sources of information about the pandemic you use and how you manage to discriminate between real and fake news. Please, also tell us your opinion about the role of the public radio during a pandemic and about the role of international broadcasters in this period of extended social uncertainty.<\/p>\n
