United against disinformation: our work in numbers

United against disinformation: our work in numbers

When the European Digital Media Observatory was launched in June 2020, its mission was clear: the creation of an interdisciplinary cross-border network that would elevate Europe’s understanding of – and collective efforts against – online disinformation.

What followed over the next four years was a remarkable journey, bringing together thousands of relevant actors in a quickly growing environment that has connected and empowered communities from all 27 EU member states and Norway.

Disinformation works fast and large-scale – but so does our network. Both at central level at EDMOeu, as well as in the 14 national and multinational EDMO Hubs, the scope, reach, and adaptability of activities and outputs in the fields of fact-checking, digital media literacy, research, and policy analysis underline the significant role this community has taken in the larger effort to advance our societies’ responses to disinformation, including in times of unforeseen crises.

The selection of figures below provides an overview of what our network has so far accomplished in its core areas of activity. As we look towards the next chapter of EDMO, these numbers also serve as an inspiring visualization of what this relatively young network can achieve, and why it is critically important that it continues its work.
