The Nordic Observatory for Digital Media and Information Disorder (NORDIS) is an independent non-partisan hub, that identifies, researches, and prioritizes the most critical sources and causes of information disorders in the Nordic region.
Our aim is to develop theories, practices and models that can help counteract digital information disorders – the spread of misinformation, disinformation and other forms of harmful information online – and to help empower citizens in Northern Europe to resist such information by enabling them to enhance their media literacy.
Our consortium also proposes actions and recommendations to support civil society, public institutions, and the private sector in responding to declining trust and to help society resist the increasing exposure to misinformation and disinformation.
We consist of members from the following Nordic universities and fact-checking organizations: Faktisk.no (Norway), University of Bergen (Norway), Källkritikbyrån (Sweden), TjekDet (Denmark), Avoin Yhteiskunta Ry (Finland), Factiverse (Norway), and Linneuniversitetet (Sweden)
