Mapping European media literacy initiatives in response to the war in Ukraine

At times of crisis or conflict, disinformation can be rapidly generated and spread. Media literacy initiatives are a crucial pillar of the European strategy to combat disinformation, and must be equally rapidly generated and spread if they are effectively to reach audiences vulnerable to disinformation.

A pro-Russian bot network in the EU amplifies disinformation about the war in Ukraine

Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, on February 24, a large number of accounts, whose main goal was to spread pro-Russian disinformation, were detected on Twitter. Many of these profiles are suspected to be bots, but a large part could also be managed by actual human beings that act coordinately to spread false or misleading narratives about the conflict.

"Nejdůležitější dezinformační političtí aktéři mají dobré vztahy s Ruskem. Není tedy moc překvapením, že více než padesát procent Slovenska fandí Rusku, aby vyhrálo na Ukrajině." @yossariantom #CIC2022 @CEDMOhub @EDMO_EUI #EDMOeu

EDMO Hubs
EDMO Hubs

EDMO and the national or multinational hubs form a network aimed at countering disinformation and analysing its impact on society and democracy both at national and European level.

Through the Connecting Europe Facility, the European Commission allocated more than 11 million euros to finance the first eight hubs which were officially announced in May 2021.

Since then, the hubs are building a multidisciplinary community of academic researchers, fact-checkers, media practitioners, and other relevant stakeholders. This community engages in detecting and exposing disinformation campaigns including by developing tools and methods to counter online disinformation, organises media literacy activities, and analyses digital media ecosystems across 15 countries in the EU and the EEA. The hubs are independent from any national or EU public authority.
