Abstract

Today’s digital media environment and the widespread proliferation of propaganda-driven disinformation confront professional media entities with numerous new challenges, and place a heavier burden on journalists and standards of journalism. This article reviews the pursuit for truth as a basic principle that stays for professional journalism, and further examines the current good practices on self-regulation of disinformation in Europe, in particular the rulings of the Advisory Commission on Counteracting the Propaganda in Eastern Europe. It takes a look at the recent efforts by media associations and companies to self-regulate and to promote media literacy as an antidote to disinformation, as well as the relevant intergovernmental policies in Europe. The conclusions provide recommendations on fine-tuning existing mechanisms to counteract disinformation through media accountability and literacy.
欧洲反虚假信息的问责和媒体扫盲机制
当今的数字媒体环境和宣传驱动的虚假信息的广泛传播,使专业媒体实体面临着许多新的挑战,并给记者和新闻标准带来了更大的负担。本文回顾了追求真相这一职业新闻的基本原则,并进一步探讨了欧洲目前对虚假信息进行自我监管的良好做法,特别是东欧反宣传咨询委员会的裁决。它着眼于媒体协会和公司最近为自我监管和促进媒体素养作为虚假信息的解药所做的努力,以及欧洲的相关政府间政策。结论就微调现有机制,通过媒体问责和扫盲打击虚假信息提出了建议。
