What new insights are there about disinformation? How does society deal with this (worrying) challenge? How can researchers, journalists and media literacy actors join forces in the fight against disinformation?
On 20 June 2023, Mediawijs in collaboration with EDMO BELUX organised Desinforum, an event for educators, researchers, journalists and media literacy actors to discuss these questions. It was followed by a session ‘Fighting Misinformation’, organised by Google Belgium, that was also open to publishers, policymakers and technology companies, and aimed to facilitate a discussion on tackling misinformation online.
