Access to trustworthy and varied information is crucial to a healthy democracy People form opinions through what they read, hear and see. This is why independent, pluralistic and trustworthy media is one of the pillars of democracy. Yet, this pillar is facing serious challenges: Social media are now a primary source of news for most people, and user-generated content consumed at face value has proven a very fertile terrain for disinformation. An increasing lack of transparency in media ownership, threats to journalists’ safety and foreign interference have also restricted the freedom, plurality and reliability of the news media. The European Union is acting to counter these worrying trends with concrete action plans, complemented by insights from innovative EU-funded research.
