“Media and Elections”
The election results in the Republic of Moldova and Romania have highlighted the effects of targeted information manipulation. In many countries, the political discourse outside of parliaments is mostly taking place in talk shows and on social media. Furthermore, ahead of the German Bundestag Election 2025, serious media reporting is more necessary than ever. But under what regulatory framework does election reporting fall? What possibilities are there to defend the public against information manipulation? A free electoral decision depends on manipulation-free and truthful information provided by the media. Safeguarding democratic elections against disinformation and propaganda is one of the central challenges for a liberal democracy. Just a few days before the elections to the German Bundestag these topics will be debated during the 21st Frankfurt Days on Media Law 2025 with media lawyers and media experts from Germany, the USA and Southeast Europe at the European University Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder).

“Strategies against disinformation and propaganda”
Desinformation and propaganda have the potential to erode trust, exacerbate societal divides, and hinder political engagement. Over the past few years, the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia's war of aggression in Ukraine have accelerated the dissemination of misinformation. In response to this challenge, numerous countries have been developing strategies to address this issue. Notably, the European Union has implemented crucial regulations, including the Digital Services Act, and is actively pursuing additional initiatives such as the Media Freedom Act. It is necessary for the democratic societies to develop strategies to fight the spread of disinformation and propaganda while upholding the principles of free speech and independent journalism.
