iMedius meets iMEdD
The iMedius research project is developing groundbreaking methods for recording and analyzing the public's news consumption habits. These innovations will be presented at the International Journalism Forum 2024, organized by iMEdD, on September 26-28, in Athens, as part of the workshop titled "Understanding Tampered Images/Deep Fakes Impact by Monitoring User Reactions through Attention Detection Mechanisms." The workshop focuses on tackling misinformation and will be presented by Charalampos Dimoulas, Anastasia Katsaounidou, and Ioanna Kostarella. Specifically, it examines methodologies for identifying manipulated and AI-generated images. The workshop uses specialized platforms and attention-tracking systems to apply theoretical knowledge to everyday journalistic practices.
The data and tools presented will come from three research projects in which the workshop presenters participate or coordinate:
- iMedius (Integrating Multidisciplinary Media Impact Assessment Instruments, imedius.gr), led by Professor Charalampos Dimoulas;
- MedDMO (Mediterranean Digital Media Observatory, meddmo.eu), with Professor Andreas Veglis as the scientific lead for Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (and Dr. Nikolaos Sarris from CERTH/ITI as the central coordinator);
- SHAZAAM (Science Hoaxes to Avoid Alienation in Generation Z - A Media Literacy Approach, shazaam.eu), led by Associate Professor Ioanna Kostarella.
