This edited volume examines the relationship between journalism, democracy, and disinformation in contemporary Europe.
Drawing on original empirical research with journalists and media regulators, it provides a timely analysis of the European Union’s evolving regulatory response to disinformation and media pluralism, while foregrounding the perspectives of those directly involved in interpreting and implementing these changes. Through a comparative study of seven countries—Spain, Italy, Norway, Iceland, Croatia, Poland, and Bulgaria—the book explores how media actors across diverse political, institutional, and regulatory contexts understand and respond to post-truth politics. In doing so, it investigates whether a shared European normative space around journalism, media freedom, and democracy is beginning to take shape.
This book will be of interest to students, scholars, and practitioners in European studies, media studies, journalism, political communication, and cultural sociology.
