Digital disruption and disinformation: challenges to institutional legitimacy and trustworthiness (DiDis)
Table of contents
DiDis: The project
The project "Digital disruption and disinformation: challenges to institutional legitimacy and trustworthiness" systematically examines the repercussions of digital induced information disruption for political institutions, their trustworthiness and legitimacy. This project will empirically analyze these questions regarding four dimensions of information (provision, acquisition, dissemination, and accuracy). It will expand knowledge on the disruption of the digital public sphere and on the impact of this disruption on the institutional dimension of democracy.
