Of European scope.

The main goal of the project is to analysze the role of media platforms in shaping an European identity, to identify best practices, and provide policy-makers with a better understanding of critical aspects of contemporary media landscape. Overall, EUMEPLAT is expected to have six main objectives: (1) furnish detailed knowledge about the evolution of European media landscape; (2) come up with an operational definition of “Europeanisation”, and provide policy-makers with guidelines for addressing it as a strategic priority; (3) identify best-practices in cross-European cultural circulation; (4) analyze the representation of sensitive issues in ten countries; (5) suggest counter-measures for tackling negative externalities of platformization, with an emphasis on anti-European fake news; (6) finally, by drawing on all tendencies detected, coming out with an indication of the problems to be prioritized in the future agenda. This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under Grant Agreement N. 101004488
