Information ecosystem and troubled democracy – Interactive Map
Developed in partnership with CNRS Institute for Complex Systems.
This map represents a statistical summary of the thematic content of the report. The network graph represents relations between the words in the report, placing them closer to each other the more they are related. The bigger the node, the more present the word is, signalling its role in defining what the report or chapter is about. The colors represent words that are closely related to each other and can be interpreted as a topic.
The map was generated by Giovanni Maggi using the GarganText tool – developed by the CNRS Institute of Complex Systems – on the basis of the report’s text.
A Global Synthesis of the State of Knowledge on News Media, AI and Data Governance
This inaugural meta-analysis provides a critical assessment of the role of information ecosystems in the Global North and Global Majority World, focusing on their relationship with information integrity (the quality of public discourse), the fairness of political processes, the protection of media freedoms, and the resilience of public institutions.
The report addresses three thematic areas with a cross-cutting theme of mis- and disinformation:
Media, Politics and Trust;
Artificial Intelligence, Information Ecosystems and Democracy;
and Data Governance and Democracy.
The analysis is based mainly on academic publications supplemented by reports and other materials from different disciplines and regions (1,664 citations selected among a total corpus of over +2700 resources aggregated). The report showcases what we can learn from landmark research on often intractable challenges posed by rapid changes in information and communication spaces.
