The last #EMIFund panel is on 🔥

The big question was posed: how can we have a EUROPEAN fund for fighting #disinformation, with no substantial EUROPEAN 🇪🇺 funding??

The question is relevant and fundamental.

The European Media and Information Fund #EMIFund supports #factcheckers, #medialiteracy #disinformation investigations and #research.

At today’s conference we discussed new threats and research gaps. I focused on 1️⃣ the anatomy of disinfo, 2️⃣ the authenticity challenge, 3️⃣ trust building, 4️⃣ comparing contentious issues and 5️⃣ data access.

Feels like 🎅 wishlist …

Recommended: #emifund engaged with an external evaluation already after 1 year. Good practice.

4️⃣ recommendations; diversify funding for EMIF, appoint steering committee, leverage strategic partnerships and make organisation gender balanced.

Good recommendations 🎺
