ReMED: Resilient Media for Democracy in the Digital Age

Overview

ReMeD tackles existing challenges to a healthy relationship between media and democracy by taking a bold approach to improve relations between citizens, media and digital technologies.

With an interdisciplinary approach and an innovative methodology that combines qualitative and quantitative methods, ReMeD gathers, analyses, compares and contrasts data on professional journalists, alternative media content producers and citizens operating in technologically mediated configurations, and on the media organisations, market structures and national and international regulations that underpin media production, circulation and consumption in the contemporary media landscape.

ReMeD works closely with all parties involved in order to co-produce high-impact knowledge and solutions that contribute to the creation of resilient democratic media that reinvigorate, strengthen and uphold democracy, the rule of law and fundamental human rights.
