--We are delighted to welcome Stefan Thompson, founder of Visegrad 24, as he discusses his journey from public relations to media and the creation of his platform, which focuses on Central and Eastern European geopolitical issues. He critiques mainstream media for its claims of objectivity, arguing that audiences prefer transparent, value-aligned narratives. Stefan highlights key events like the migrant crisis and the Russian invasion of Ukraine that have driven interest in Visegrad 24’s unique perspectives. He addresses the challenges posed by social media and clickbait culture while emphasizing the importance of quality reporting and undercover investigations. The conversation covers funding challenges, strategic growth plans for engaging content, and concerns about free speech restrictions in the UK and Europe. Ultimately, Stefan conveys a message of hope, advocating for truth and justice inspired by historical figures who resisted oppression.
