My name is Costea Valentin-Ionuţ and I graduated from the Faculty of International Economic Relations from the Academy of Economic Studies in Bucharest – specialization Economics and International Affairs. Currently I’m attending a master in Diplomacy at the same educational institution. I believe that today, where fake-news and manipulation are at the order of the day, it is absolutely necessary to familiarize yourself in advance with methods of discovery and avoidance of these harmful information flows. Counting on my knowledge of international relations, along with my passion for history and geopolitics, they will help me form and strengthen a security culture to counter the fake-news phenomenon, which is a very important pillar for the stability of a country in order to cope with external threats, but especially from internal level.
