Summary of the project
The project aims to combat fake news by reducing its spread and impact, providing the media and the public with reliable tools to identify and counter disinformation and misinformation. The goal is to foster a healthier and more trustworthy media environment by improving the quality of information circulating on both traditional and digital platforms. The project’s impact will be reflected in increased public awareness of how to identify fake news, greater trust in the media through the publication of clarified information, and the exposure of false news, ultimately establishing the media as a reliable source of information. Additionally, a regulatory and responsive framework will be created to minimize the influence of fake news. This project will contribute to enhanced transparency, strengthened fact-checking processes, and the development of a more informed community resilient to disinformation.
