SUMMARY:Webinar on EU elections and how to prevent interference
DESCRIPTION:The EU elections\, Europe Day\, Victory Day and Eurovision are approaching – and so are the opportunities for spreading false information and fomenting polarization. That’s why Faktabari\, in cooperation with its NORDIS partners\, is organizing a free webinar for journalists on the EU elections and election interference on May 3. \nThe webinar will be held on International Press Freedom Day from 12:15 to 15:30. The webinar to be held on May 3 has an interesting coverage of both domestic and Nordic experts. All Finnish journalists and journalist students who want to update their knowledge about EU elections\, disinformation and fact-checking tools are welcome to the lines. \nAlso MediaFutures Ph.D candidate Sohail Khan is present and will present his research on deep fake detection as well as NORDIS.2\, a project he works on together with UiB-infomedia associate professor Duc-Tien Dang-Nguyen. \nBetween 2022 and 2023\, the Norwegian fact-checking organization played a crucial role in providing guidance to MediaFutures’ PhD candidate\, Sohail Ahmed Khan\, as he developed two prototypes: an image classifier and a language detector. Both tools have earned great acclaim among fact checkers and journalists\, including those operating in war-torn Ukraine. One of the tools Sohail will showcase at the webinar is the tank classifier. \nThe event is hosted and held mainly in Finnish. Sohail Ahmed Khan will speak in English. \nProgram:\n12.15–12.30\nOpening Words\nPipsa Havula & Joonas Pörsti/ Faktabaari \n12.30–13.00\nWhat kind of disinformation narratives circulate about the EU?
