Media literacy, fact-checking, stratcom, to some extent, most EU member states utilise similar approaches, but the emphasis differs. There are 27 intertwined policy environments to deal with #disinformation in the EU. On top of that, there is the EU policy that applies in all member states. We had a country-by-country look in this #EDMO report. https://edmo.eu/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/EDMO-Report-How-is-disinformation-addressed-in-the-member-states-of-the-European-Union-%E2%80%93-27-country-cases-.pdf

Who are the actors behind #disinformation in the EU? Are they foreign or local? Do they involve politicians and (fringe) media?

Funding and regulation need to be constantly adapted to new realities. Insights from the #MPM - Media Pluralism Monitor of the EUI CMPF. https://cmpf.eui.eu/media-pluralism-monitor-2024/

I describe briefly the outlook of the Hungarian opposition in this week’s EU and municipal elections. With new right-wing opposition forces emerging, the political landscape will become more conservative, with very limited space for progressive positions. https://www.greeneuropeanjournal.eu/hungarys-opposition-in-the-grip-of-fidesz-light/

Social media political advertising is opaque and unregulated in most EU countries. The exact opposite of the broadcast environment. This can pose risks to EU election integrity. Our blog post with Matteo Trevisan. New EU regulation will improve the situation a lot. https://cmpf.eui.eu/media-and-eu-parliament-elections-2024/
