Disinformation continues to be one of the media's most pressing problems, and combating fake news requires particular caution, Kakha Maskharashvili, Director of Georgian Times, told Report during the Azerbaijani–Georgian media forum in Baku.

He added that Georgian Times actively fights fake news across its platforms.

According to him, it is essential that users are able to distinguish reliable information from false news.
