Fighting disinformation and empowering society in the Mediterranean and beyond

This public event marks the start of the second round of the Mediterranean Digital Media Observatory (MedDMO), a project bringing together journalists, media literacy experts and researchers in Malta, Greece and Cyprus (as well as the AFP) to fight disinformation. 

Launched in 2023, the MedDMO project has just been renewed by the European Commission and will run for at least another three years. MedDMO is part of a much wider international effort as one of the 14 hubs under the European Digital Media Observatory (EDMO). In the past few years, it has been working to foster a healthier information space locally and beyond our shores through fact-checking activities, disinformation analysis, and media literacy campaigns and training. Local partners are Times of Malta and the University of Malta’s Department of Media and Communications.

Journalists, students, researchers, NGOs and the general public are all invited to attend the event. If you are interested in joining, please register through the online form.

This will be a great opportunity to hear about MedDMO's work and meet the international team, and it will also give you the chance to voice your views, contributing to the consortium's work going forward. At the end of the day, fighting disinformation is a collective effort.
