Our Mission

At Qalta Disinformation Monitoring, we are dedicated to promoting transparency and integrity in the digital information landscape. Our mission is to identify, evaluate, and categorize online media sources, distinguishing credible information from disinformation. In an era where misinformation can spread rapidly, our work is crucial in helping individuals, organizations, and businesses navigate the complex web of online information with confidence and clarity.

Approach and Impact

Qalta Research Network, a non-profit association registered in Austria, was established in 2003. Over the years, responding to the growing challenge of digital misinformation, our team, initially comprising a few media analysts and technologists, has expanded and evolved. Our focus has been on assessing and addressing issues related to online information credibility.

We employ a rigorous and systematic methodology to evaluate online news sources. Our process is based on a set of meticulously defined quality criteria, covering aspects such as editorial transparency, adherence to journalistic ethics, and organizational legitimacy. Our team comprises experts in media analysis, data science, and legal compliance, ensuring that our evaluations are thorough, fair, and unbiased. By providing clear and objective evaluations of media sources, we empower users to make informed decisions and foster a more truthful online environment. Our work also contributes to broader discussions and initiatives aimed at curtailing the spread of fake news and reinforcing digital media literacy.

We are committed to continuous improvement and adaptation in response to the evolving digital media landscape. Our platform is regularly updated to incorporate new research, emerging trends, and user feedback. Upholding the highest ethical standards, we remain steadfast in our resolve to provide a reliable and accessible tool for online media evaluation.

Financing

The Qalta Research Network operates independently, financed solely by its members, without reliance on public funding or grants. This self-sustaining model underscores our commitment to impartiality and autonomy in our operations. Our members, drawn from various sectors, contribute not just financially, but also with insights and expertise, enriching our analyses. This unique funding structure allows us to maintain a steadfast focus on our mission, free from external influences or biases, ensuring that our evaluations of online information sources are conducted with the utmost integrity and objectivity.
