How can policymakers tackle misinformation and disinformation?

Arianna Furegon, Sapienza University of Rome

Information behaviour of migrants or intended migrants is studied by researchers to understand the implications of information over migration choices. Also information circulating in host countries regarding migration can be the object of study of the complex migration research field. Assuming that the concepts of misinformation and disinformation are complex to define and to identify in the media landscape nowadays, this policy briefs aims to analyse the definitions and the dynamics of these two “information drifts” around the concept of migration and to investigate how policymakers can tackle misinformation and disinformation in the migration field.
