Connecting Media Communities 2026: Who Shapes What We Believe?

Connecting Media Communities 2026 will bring together around 80 journalists, fact-checkers, media organisations, content creators, and other experts from across the world to explore that question together and further strengthen networks and collaboration that transcend the conference.

In its sixth edition, the programme will explore current information trends, how audiences access and assess information, the importance of media literacy, the role of independent journalism, and the need to strengthen information ecosystems to counter FIMI and safeguard information integrity. Connecting Media Communities 2026 will bring together diverse perspectives while deepening engagement between the global media community, EEAS, and different EU partners.
