Скачать или смотреть Misinformation Challenges for European Democracies : Role of the European Digital Media Observatory

In recent years, misinformation has emerged as a growing threat to European societies and democracies. As part of the EU Action Plan against Disinformation, the European Commission established the European Digital Media Observatory (EDMO) in June 2020 to help fight against disinformation. The EDMO will act as a hub for fact-checkers and researchers and will establish networks of fact-checkers throughout Europe to counter online disinformation and support public policy. Professor Miguel Poiares Maduro, Chair of the Executive Board of the EDMO, speaks about the threat of misinformation and the role of the European Digital Media Observatory.
