The brief discusses the persisting challenge of the infodemic and explores strategies to counter it while enhancing the resilience of societies in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Poland.
The background paper, jointly compiled by AMO, the Adapt Institute, and the EAST Center, reviews the actors responsible for spreading disinformation in Czechia, Slovakia, and Poland, their tools, channels, and the ways in which their playbook has evolved during the Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent outbreak of the war in Ukraine. Moreover, the paper discusses how media and individuals can counter disinformation and how societal resilience can be fostered in the face of this daunting threat.
The paper is a part of the project “Strengthening the Resilience of Czech, Slovak and Polish Societies Prior to the 2024 European Parliament Elections” supported by the EU. Read more at the project webpage of the Association for International Affairs.
