Hello everyone, In little more than one month, the EU H2020 program will launch a large call for projects dedicated to the mapping of the "recent transformations in the European media system" (https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/opport...). At the Public Data Lab and at the Digital Methods Initiative, we believe that no such mapping can be complete without a thorough investigation of the digital media landscape. Importantly, this investigation should include not only the main social platforms, but also the smaller and more hidden venues of online debate. If the whole "junk news" debate has taught us something, it is that the core and the peripheries of the media spheres are more closely connected that they used to be and that fringe groups and messages can suddenly be projected to the centre stage. Internet research therefore is not anymore a useful-yet-marginal addition to the survey of the media systems, but increasingly a central piece of its mapping. If you are interested in joining forces to answer this major EU call to map the EU media landscape, do not hesitate to get in touch with us off-list.
