Abstract
Based on evidence from the 18 countries included in the 2021 Media for Democracy
Monitor (MDM), this chapter provides the first comparative analysis of whether
and how the issue of online misinformation is being interpreted and dealt with in
newsrooms around the world. We analyse to which degree news media view online
misinformation as a challenge that needs addressing and what measures they take
to avoid relaying online misinformation. Moreover, we study how news media
form part of broader societal and regulatory initiatives to counter misinformation.
The chapter identifies different national approaches to the news media’s ways of
addressing online misinformation, and we discuss potential future avenues for
research and regulatory action.
