This new observatory will focus its research on five lines of work. First, it will investigate the characteristics and trends of the Iberian digital media ecosystem. It will also develop computational technologies for the early detection of misinformation. In addition, it will verify and refute disinformation in the Iberian territory, reporting to the European Commission. It will prepare strategic reports on disinformation threats, both for public knowledge and for the authorities in Spain and Portugal. Finally, it will work on media literacy initiatives aimed at journalists, young people and society as a whole.
