This coordinated project between Spain, Portugal and the United Kingdom has as its main objective to study the traceability of European information to combat misinformation among citizens. European organizations, at national and international level, have arranged different initiatives to combat disinformation and promote free access to information. However, the recommendations do not always become obligations, they are very varied and sometimes local, and not enough improvements have been achieved to result in journalistic dynamics and in the citizen's knowledge of public information.

At the same time, social networks, and the appearance of news in media accounts, together with premium subscriptions to digital newspapers, have made the situation more complex. Understanding all these circumstances, the team of this project proposes to study and analyse European initiatives, find spaces for common activity, and convey to citizens the importance of building media literacy to achieve critical and civic citizenship based on access to information.

Professors from three universities participate: with extensive teaching and research experience in ethics, deontology, data journalism and information traceability. The methodology would include analysing and commenting on the new information traceability mechanisms; track disinformation campaigns; map the legislative and ethical mechanisms in Spain and Europe; interview the experts who make up the first ethical initiatives. The ultimate goal would be to offer a public dissemination plan that includes a real roadmap, with a guide and training materials for journalists and journalism students.
