Goals / Remit
NewsGuard uses journalism to fight false news, misinformation, and disinformation. Our trained analysts, who are experienced journalists, research online news brands to help readers and viewers know which ones are trying to do legitimate journalism—and which are not. We are launching in Europe, including Germany, France, and Italy in January 2019.
Main EU files targeted
NewsGuard has met with members of the EU Commission to discuss its work within the context on the Code of Practise on Disinformation. NewsGuard's co-CEO, Steven Brill, has presented at EU Commission conferences, and will speak at a January 2019 Conference on Countering Disinformation Online. NewsGuard is also joining SOMA(Social Observatory for Disinformation and Social Media Analysis), which was launched to provide support to a European community that will jointly fight disinformation.

Meetings
Meetings
4 meetings found. Download meetings
The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
