Poisoning the Mind: Follow the money and the data behind the most sophisticated Russian disinformation campaigns

Romania | Finland

Description

A team of data scientists and journalists from Finland, Romania, Moldova, Czech Republic, Georgia, Ukraine and UK is aiming to identify Russian state actors in the complex landscape of online disinformation. They will gather advertising data in order to observe targeting strategies, narratives and the money flows behind.

“I’m happy to be part of the first cohort funded by Journalism Science Alliance, because I believe the journalists and the data scientists could provide fantastic interdisciplinary findings and this is an amazing opportunity.” — Victor Iliee.
