*Monitoring Mediascapes for Democratic Communication in Europe:*

*Meet the challenges of an election year***

*Hybrid event. Brussels 15 February 2024*

The EU-funded Mediadelcom project invites you in Brussels on 15 February to meet leading researchers, academics and media representatives to discuss the future of the media, the need for change, and the role of deliberative communication.

More than 60 major elections are scheduled worldwide in 2024, including within the European Union. Since there is some argument that democracy is at stake, now is an apt moment to focus on deliberative communication – a prerequisite of deliberative democracy.

This event marks the conclusion of the 3-year project Mediadelcom - the most comprehensive study of its kind done in Europe identifying the risks and opportunities for deliberative communication in today's polarized Europe.

*About Mediadelcom*

The project, financed by Horizon 2020 and coordinated by the University of Tartu, Estonia, has been examining various aspects of the media in 14 European countries to determine the risks and opportunities for deliberative communication. Mediadelcom argues that European political and cultural spaces evolve best if specific policies enhance the conditions for deliberative communication. The project has developed a methodology to detect the risks and opportunities that determine the news media’s ability to provide necessary information, as well as influence the electorate’s engagement in deliberative communication. The findings highlight areas of concern for media practitioners, policy makers and the public. Mediadelcom provides valuable information in the context of implementing EU media-targeted regulations, including the European Media Freedom Act. The results also tackle some of the major challenges facing the media, such as accountability, access to information, literacy, polarization. Mediadelcom involves 17 teams representing 14 EU countries, from Western as well as Central and Eastern Europe.
