Strategies against migration-related disinformation

ENGLISH (German below):

Disinformation shapes perceptions, misleads public opinion, and distorts political discourse. Fake news and manipulative content about migrants and refugees are particularly widespread. To further divide society, such fake news often targets people’s concerns and emotions, their values and beliefs. As a result, fears are amplified and perceptions distorted. Moreover, fake news usually spread faster than facts, so that after salient events, it is not facts but often disinformation and divisive narratives that dominate the discourse. This can become a danger to the cohesion of society and democracy itself.

But how to counter disinformation campaigns and fake news effectively? To this end, the Brussels-based think tank European Policy Centre (EPC) will present its recent findings and recommendations of the FES and FEPS founded multiannual research project “Disinformation about Migration”. Afterwards, we will discuss it with a panel of experts and the audience. The aim is to bring together representatives from politics, academia, journalism and civil society to exchange about new and progressive strategies in the fight against disinformation. This could render our joint efforts more impactful.

We are looking forward to the discussion and wish you a fruitful exchange!

GERMAN:

Strategien gegen migrationsbezogene Desinformation: Kompetenz, Resilienz, Voraussicht

Desinformationen prägen die Wahrnehmung, führen die öffentliche Meinung in die Irre und verzerren den politischen Diskurs. Fake News und manipulative Inhalte über Migrant_innen und Flüchtlinge sind dabei besonders weit verbreitet. Um die Spaltung der Gesellschaft voranzutreiben, zielen solche Falschmeldungen oft auf die Sorgen und Emotionen der Menschen, auf ihre Werte und Überzeugungen ab. Dadurch werden Ängste verstärkt und Wahrnehmungen verzerrt. Zudem verbreiten sich Unwahrheiten meist schneller als Fakten, sodass dass nach einschneidenden Ereignissen nicht etwa Fakten, sondern oft Desinformationen und spaltende Narrative im Diskurs dominieren und zur Gefahr für den Zusammenhalt der Gesellschaft und die Demokratie selbst werden können.

Wie können Desinformationskampagnen und Falschmeldungen also effektiver bekämpft werden? Hierzu werden wir über die Ergebnisse und Empfehlungen des von der FES und FEPS geförderten Forschungsprojektes „Desinformation about Migration“ des Brüsseler Think Tanks European Policy Centre (EPC) diskutieren. Ziel ist es Vertreter_innen aus Politik, Wissenschaft, Journalismus und Zivilgesellschaft zusammenzubringen, um neue und progressive Strategien im Kampf gegen Desinformation zu diskutieren und existierende Maßnahmen wirkungsvoller einzusetzen.

Wir freuen uns auf Ihre Teilnahme und wünschen Ihnen einen spannenden Austausch!
