In September 2023, Google commissioned Ecorys and LSE’s Department of Media and Communications to carry out a Media Literacy Policy Study. The recommendations highlighted in the policy briefs build on data collection and analysis carried out between September 2023 and April 2024. The study aimed to:
- assess the implications of emerging technologies, including Generative AI, for tackling disinformation and promoting online safety.
- inform an agenda for collaboration on media literacy initiatives across industry, public sector and civil society in Europe; and,
- guide future policy decisions by Google.org, YouTube, and Google.
The published outputs include a set of policy briefs on priority media literacy topics, access them below:
