Join us for the EDMO BELUX 2.0 Workshop: “Exploring Disinformation Through Vulnerabilities: Credibility, Accountability and Inequalities”
Researchers, practitioners, educators, journalists, and policy makers will come together to explore disinformation through different angles of vulnerability, each highlighting distinct challenges for understanding and addressing it. It focuses on how vulnerabilities take shape across narrative formats that structure credibility, legal and institutional frameworks that organise accountability, and social inequalities that affect exposure and protection. Drawing on insights developed within EDMO BELUX, including reflections on narrative formats through the case of documentary practices, analyses of legal breaches and regulatory responses, and work on the relationship between disinformation and inequalities, the workshop invites participants to reflect on how such vulnerabilities can be better taken into consideration when thinking about approaches to mitigating disinformation.
When: April 14, 2026, 9:00-12:30
Where: RTL Lëtzebuerg (Luxembourg)
Provisional programme:
Session 1: When Formats and Genre Come with Promises: The Case of Documentary Practices
This session explores how certain forms of content carry implicit promises and expectations about credibility and how they should be understood. Using documentary practices as a case study, it reflects on genres and formats’ role when thinking about disinformation.
Session 2: Disinformation Policy Breaches and Remedies
This session focuses on concrete cases of policy and legal breaches related to disinformation and on how such breaches can be addressed. It will examine two concrete case studies illustrating policy and legal breaches linked to disinformation and discusses potential regulatory and enforcement remedies to address such breaches.
Session 3: Untangling the knots between disinformation and inequalities
This session explores how disinformation intersects with social inequalities, drawing on the presentation of a special issue coordinated by EDMO BELUX and published in the academic journal Recherches en communication.
