The Local Founder Paul Rapacioli Discusses Protecting Sweden's Reputation

Paul Rapacioli, founder and CEO of The Local, an English-language news outlet focused on Sweden, has detailed his efforts in countering and managing fake news articles that target the country. Rapacioli was a principal speaker at Axfoundation's "Människans Natur" (Human Nature) seminar in 2017, which had the sub-theme "Sanning och konsekvens" (Truth and Consequence).

Rapacioli addressed the unexpected challenges presented by a media landscape where "truth" itself is under attack. His insights were shared during an interview conducted in conjunction with the "Sanning och konsekvens" event, held at Fotografiska in Stockholm on October 10, 2017.

The Axfoundation, which organized the seminar, is a foundation dedicated to fostering societal dialogue and development. Its initiatives, including seminars and publications, aim to disseminate knowledge and encourage discussion on critical societal issues, promoting an open and inclusive society.
