#11 Carmen Romero_Women in PR with Ana Adi

It was 2019 when the Oxford Dictionary added the term “fake news” to its list of definitions. It turns out that the term has been around since the 1890s – something to do with a story about a mine in Milwaukee! Anyways, for communicators, fake news means trouble, for there is a lot more nuance there which encompasses accuracy of information, intent and effect. Our guest this episode: Carmen Romero, NATO’s Deputy Assistant Secretary General for Public Diplomacy since October 2016. She’s a former journalist and foreign affairs correspondent (awarded too) who has covered events such as the revolution in Romania, the Fall of the Berlin Wall, the war in Chechnya, the crisis in Kosovo, and the NATO campaign in former Yugoslavia.
