Public opinion on the role of public service media and official efforts to strengthen the media space this year show that there is a long way to go before we can say that Latvia has a mature civil society.
The media, of course, also have to significantly step up their efforts of effective countering targeted propaganda aimed at winning people’s hearts and minds through information warfare.
