#HoldtheLine: Anne Applebaum on the future of journalism, democracy, and rule of law
Can we tell fact from fiction anymore? Can journalism survive?

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Anne Applebaum’s book Autocracy, Incorporated investigates how autocratic regimes weaponize business and technology, and how information operations and deepfakes undermine democratic systems around the world.

In a world powered by technology and social media, how do we fight back?

In this episode of #HoldtheLine, Rappler CEO and Nobel laureate Maria Ressa sits down with Applebaum to talk about what the future holds for journalism, democracy, and rule of law. As autocratic regimes thrive, how can we work to see democracy and rule of law prevail?
