In the first workshop, we discussed basic questions of self-perception, the understanding of one’s own role and the role of other actors in the information ecosystem, in particular the responsibility towards voters/followers and readers. Thereafter, we talked about our own experiences with fake news and disinformation in our daily work and focussed on getting to know each other.
Three aspects stood out at the end of the first workshop:
1) The questions about (social) “responsibility”;
2) The possibilities for cross-actor cooperation, especially – but not exclusively – with regard to the exchange between journalists and influencers;
3) Critical engagement with the algorithms of social media platforms and the resulting effects (including the formation of bubbles, preference dynamics vs. discursivity).
