Abstract :
[en] Even reliable information is often reshaped to fit ideological agendas, with selective editing that removes opposing viewpoints, Stéphanie Lukasik of the University of Luxembourg told EURACTIV.pl.
IN BRIEF: Disinformation in Luxembourg
Dominant narratives: related to daily life concerns (insecurity, finances), the war in Ukraine, anti-European (to a very limited extent)
Main disinformation spreaders: domestic far-right parties, media outlets, Russia (limited)
Most common false stories: insecurity in the La Gare district of Luxembourg, deepfakes (especially involving politicians e.g. prime minister Luc Frieden, Luxembourg city mayor Lydie Polfer, Grand Duke Henri), fake financial advice
Combating disinformation: enhancing media literacy by initiatives (Be Secure, ZPB Foundation), fact-checking and research projects and organisations (EDMO-BELUX, MediaLux), strengthening journalistic ethics and deontology
