📣 Today, on #EducationDay, we would like to reflect on an important research on #DigitalNeeds we did within IDMO, to explore the evolving needs of teachers and students in the realm of #MediaLiteracy. 📝 This research aimed to uncover gaps and provide actionable recommendations to enhance educational pathways and offer a robust, #DigitalEducationStrategy for schools. 💡 Key findings revealed that bridging the #DigitalSkills gap requires more than just individual efforts: it necessitates #MediaEducation actions that address cultural, political, and social contexts. 💡 Moreover, the research underscores the urgency of standardizing educational pathways for both #DigitalLiteracy and #MediaLiteracy, with a particular focus on overcoming the limitations of traditional approaches. .

Four in ten members of Generation Z trust the ordinary person on the street—far less than Millennials (58%), Gen X (67%), and Baby Boomers (67%) (IPSOS Veracity Index 2024).This generation also shies away from long-form content, including fact checks. As one participant in a recent study remarked: "It was too long to read, so I didn’t even read all of it." Another added: "Sure, you can look on your own, but no one has time for that" (Practicing Information Sensibility: How Gen Z Engages with Online Information, n=35). Why does this matter? Young people often signal how society will evolve. Between 2012 and 2021, Gen Z’s early adoption of smartphones and social media paved the way for their widespread use across all age groups (2012 Reuters Digital News Report, 2016 Pew Research Center). To continue making an impact, we need to rethink media literacy and educational interventions. At the European Digital Media Observatory Fact-Checking Training Event last week, organized by Athens Technology Center, we got into all of this and more. Some of my highlights included: 1. Hearing firsthand from Funky Citizens about their live fact-checking during the recent presidential debates in Romania. 2. Learning how IDMO is leaning into multiple media sources to reach diverse audiences. 3. Exploring the challenges of fact-checking across Greece and Cyprus, shared by AFP. 4. Discovering the latest in tool development for journalists, by journalists. 5. Engaging discussions with Tommaso Canetta, Nikos Sarris, and Stephan Mündges on regulations, transparency, and the future of the field. Thank you to Spyridoula Markou, Christos Gavalas, and Danae Tsampouraki for the diverse perspectives and a fantastic event! For anyone working in media, technology, or education, these research findings and conversations are a gentle reminder of the shifts happening in how information is consumed and trusted.

Beyond Borders: Shaping the Future of Security in the Black Sea Region. The Black Sea region stands as a focal point of this complexity, where military, economic, and legal interests collide, creating a landscape of volatility and fierce competition. To navigate this intricate geopolitical puzzle, a strategic and unified approach is essential. This at the core of the event organised by the IDMO - Italian Digital Media Observatory, the Embassy of Ukraine, the Federation of Humans Rights (FIDU), the Luiss Data Lab, and the Center of Geopolitics, an international dialogue on security in the Black Sea region with experts and institutions. Among the guests Gianni Riotta, Director Luiss Data Lab. Watch the highlights 👇
