(2017/S 152-314100)
Objectives and description
The Directorate General for Communications Networks, Content and Technology of the European Commission has
published a call for tenders for a “Study on Media literacy and online
empowerment issues raised by algorithm-driven media services” - SMART
2017/0081.
This multi-disciplinary study will
be a first step for EU media policy to analyse the underlying issues
posed by algorithm-driven media services and explore the problem area in
a structured way for the benefit of policy makers and stakeholders.
The main objectives of this study are to:
- analyse the issues posed by algorithm-driven media services and explore problem areas in a holistic and cross-disciplinary way;
- identify gaps in understanding and research;
- identify best practices from a media literacy perspective;
- include a substantial stakeholder involvement;
- include a fundamental rights perspective (freedom of expression/media freedom and pluralism).
Taking
all this into account, the study should not be limited to algorithm
transparency, but explore benefits and downsides arising from use of
algorithms in connection with media services.
