WP7 – Regulatory Aspects

Work package seven will use the tools of political theory to conceptualise debates within liberal democracies on the adoption of different forms of regulation and public policy addressing fake news, digital platforms and geopolitical authoritarianism. It will analyse the EU public policy power struggle between different actors in order to define the best way to combat disinformation at the European level and analyse the impact upon communication professionals and journalistic practices of the emerging regulations adopted or in the process of adoption by EU member states and EU institutions. Furthermore the work package will involve European communication stakeholders (EU and national officials, MPs and MEPs, journalists, fact-checkers and foundations) involving them in the participant-led assessment of the research results to facilitate the dissemination of the research.
