    DescriptionIn this personal and reflective episode of Media & Society, Latvian-born glass artist Laura Šmideberga and Südalinna Theatre Creative Director Dmitrijs Petrenko share what it means to live between cultures, languages, and media landscapes. Now based in Estonia, they speak about navigating Latvian, Estonian, and Russian-language media, the subtle (and not so subtle) differences in trust toward government and journalism, and the role of public service media in shaping informed, inclusive societies. With warmth, wit, and honesty, they reflect on integration, identity, and the everyday choices we make about where — and how — we get our news.
