About

The Observatory of Disinformation Narratives against the Media monitors key disinformation narratives targeting journalists and fact-checkers in Europe. It seeks to expose how spreaders of disinformation use these narratives to discredit journalists’ work and serve their own agendas.

This data is based on investigations conducted by a team of journalists and fact-checkers from the International Press Institute (IPI), Faktograf (Croatia), and Taz (Germany) as part of the IPI-led project “Decoding the Disinformation Playbook”.
