Use of facts-based journalism to raise awareness of and counteract disinformation in the North Macedonia media space

The Institute of Communication Studies (ICS) is launching a project that will provide support to citizens, journalists and civil society organizations to increase public understanding of the origins, motives and impact of disinformation in society. ICS, via its online media platforms, will investigate, expose and deconstruct the intentions, sources and narratives of disinformation that threaten to undermine public trust in institutions and increase the divide in society. This approach will highlight the damage caused by disinformation in North Macedonia.

The project “Use of facts-based journalism to raise awareness of and counteract disinformation in the North Macedonia media space” is funded by the British Embassy in Skopje and will be implemented from September 2023 until March 2025.
