The European Media and Information Fund (EMIF) has published its Annual Progress Report 2022/2023 which was presented at the ”Countering Disinformation During the Rise of AI: 2 Years of EMIF’s impact” event, which took place in Brussels on June 30 2023. Over the course of a successful second year of activities, the EMIF has supported 40 projects covering all its main intervention areas, i.e., fact-checking, journalistic investigations into disinformation, research for a more resilient news media ecosystem, and media literacy initiatives for citizens’ empowerment. With a committed total grant amount of around €6.15 million, EMIF was able to provide funding to one third of the project proposals received in the 2022-2023 period. The present report provides an overview of the activities (including progress, impact and lessons learned) that took place from 25 March 2022 to 24 March 2023.
