Fighting Lies, Building Public Space

In a recent Tracks East episode by ARTE, journalists take us inside the rising tide of disinformation—from Washington to Bucharest—and show how the cost of truth is growing by the day. From witnessing the Capitol insurrection to tracing far-right surges across Europe, the episode offers a sobering glimpse into the consequences of unchecked manipulation, misinformation, and the power of algorithms.

Amid these challenges, a different kind of digital ecosystem is emerging. One rooted in public values, cross-border solidarity, and open participation. One that doesn’t trade your attention for profit. That’s where Display Europe comes in; a platform we helped build to ensure independent voices still have space to be heard, translated, and trusted.

Display Europe is a free, multilingual media network co-created by ECF and over a dozen partners. It amplifies journalism and storytelling that resists polarisation and algorithmic silos, inviting all of us to be part of the conversation.
