Imagine having a giant, interactive map that shows who produces news, who reads it, and what laws they must follow across Europe. It's like a GPS for the information world that highlights where people are ignored and where the news is actually working. By comparing what people want with what they actually get, it helps design a better way for citizens to engage with their government.
Media companies and regulators struggle to understand the gap between what audiences need and what is actually produced, leading to inefficient content delivery and regulatory blind spots.
An interactive multi-layer map of European political information environments and analytical models translating theory into empirical research.
If you are a digital publisher dealing with low audience engagement in specific EU regions — this project developed an interactive multi-layer map that identifies gaps between media supply and citizen demand. This allows you to tailor content to underserved audiences and improve reach.
If you are a consultancy dealing with complex cross-border media laws — this project mapped legal and self-regulatory frameworks across 9 countries. You can use these findings to provide faster, more accurate compliance audits for media clients.
If you are a research firm dealing with unpredictable shifts in democratic attitudes — this project used data science and quantitative analysis to map media use patterns. This provides a validated baseline to predict how different audiences react to political information.
Based on available project data, no pricing or commercial cost is mentioned as the project is EU-funded research.
The project uses data science and large-scale quantitative analyses, suggesting the methodology can scale, though it is currently focused on EU Member States.
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not provided, but the results are intended for policymakers, media houses, and NGOs.
The project maps legal and self-regulatory frameworks to identify how they impact media production and democratic functions.
The project period runs from 2023-03-01 to 2026-02-28.
The consortium is heavily academic, consisting of 7 universities and 2 research organizations across 9 countries. With 0% industry participation and 0 SMEs, the project is driven by theoretical and empirical research rather than commercial application, which suggests the output will be high-quality data and guidelines rather than a turnkey commercial product.
