[Commlist] Conference on Disinformation

    Research seminar of the Hungarian Digital Media Observatory

The research seminar of the Hungarian Digital Media Observatory, a 
European Commission funded project hosted by Agence France Presse and 
with the collaboration of the news organisation 444/Magyar Jeti Zrt and 
the Media Universalis Foundation, aims at addressing the content and 
contours of the disinformation ecosystem, based on empirical research in 
the field. Over the past year, Lakmusz.hu, Hungary’s leading 
fact-checking portal, has provided ample material for the assessment and 
reviewing of theoretical assumptions about how audiences form normative 
judgments about media performance in general and disinformation 
disseminated by the news media in particular. Hence researchers and 
practitioners will gather in Budapest on 26 and 27 January 2023 at the 
Central European University to discuss recent trends in the field and to 
map the prospective journalistic, academic and policy-related tracks of 
inquiry and action. The event concludes the EU-funded Lakmusz.hu 
project’s first segment with the involvement of a small but strong 
cohort of researchers, practitioners, and policy makers from across Europe.

The topics covered will include the professional, theoretical, and 
policy-related implications of the epistemologies of truth, the 
professional legitimation strategies of fact-checking practices, the 
types of polarisations around truth-bending interventions, as well as 
the audiences and fans of fakery, just to name a few.

The event will include a series of seminar sessions to be followed by 
participants’ debates, with connected side events at the Budapest campus 
of the Central European University.

The working language of the event is English.

Inquiries about the event to be sent to Dr. Ferenc Hammer
