In particular, the report highlights how the work of MLI is regularly used as an example of international best practice and has been recognised in national frameworks and strategies, such as the Harnessing Digital \u2013 The Digital Ireland Framework, the Adult Literacy for Life Strategy and the National Counter Disinformation Strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also cited in the report is the work of EDMO Ireland. The European Union created the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/edmo.eu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">European Digital\u00a0Media\u00a0Observatory (EDMO)<\/a>\u00a0in 2020 to promote scientific knowledge on online disinformation, advance the development of fact-checking services, promote media literacy programmes, and support public authorities in assessing the implementation of the EU Code of Practice on Disinformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The EDMO Ireland consortium includes DCU Institute for Future Media Democracy &amp; Society (FUJO), TheJournal FactCheck and NewsWhip.&nbsp; As the report notes, a comprehensive system of collaboration has been established between MLI and EDMO Ireland, and they work closely together&nbsp;to develop media literacy resources, campaigns and insights to support media literacy in Ireland and across the EU and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The report highlights the many media literacy initiatives and events that take place across Ireland and the success of MLI\u2019s Be Media Smart campaign \u2013 which encourages people to \u2018Stop, Think and Check\u2019 the accuracy and reliability of the information they encounter in their reading, viewing, or listening activities, from whatever source \u2013 is particularly noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can download the full report <a href=\"https:\/\/digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu\/en\/library\/national-reports-media-literacy-measures-under-audiovisual-media-services-directive-2022-2025?pk_source=ec_newsroom&amp;pk_medium=email&amp;pk_campaign=Shaping%20Europe%27s%20Digital%20Future%20website%20updates\/en#email\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reports by EU member states on national measures to promote and develop media literacy skills have been published and Ireland\u2019s report reveals the breadth and depth of the work in this area.
