The European Digital Media Observatory (EDMO) Ireland Hub has partnered with Media Literacy Ireland (MLI) to launch the “Be Election Smart” campaign. As Ireland approaches the General Election on November 29, this initiative aims to provide voters with 6 essential tips (in English and translated into Gaelic) to critically navigate election-related news, commentary, and advertising.

You can also check out EDMO and FuJo's social media to catch them all. Also check out EDMO Ireland or Media Literacy Ireland for more resources about navigating online misinformation.
