Final report
Métadonnées de la publication
The objective of this study was to understand how the provision and consumption of news online works (in particular in social media platforms), which problems it raises with regard to the functioning of democracies, what is currently in place to counter these issues and their implications, and what (other) options should be explored. The research objectives were broken down into a set of research questions: 1) How can the functionalities of algorithms in different types of online services and platforms be defined? 2) What is the level of public awareness about the existence and functioning of these different types of algorithms? 3) What are the challenges associated with algorithm-driven media services for consumers and citizens? 4) What are the potential consequences of these challenges for consumers, citizens and other stakeholders in different domains? 5) What are the knowledge gaps in the understanding of and available research on the above-mentioned issues? 6) What are the options for the government actors and/or the media and/or technology sector itself to prevent or address these challenges or to mitigate their impacts? 7) How can the identified knowledge gaps be addressed by behavioural experiments to explore the cognitive issues raised by algorithms used in conjunction with media services, and what would be the design parameters of these experiments?
