Trust Label for Influencers social media channels

Presentation

YouthProAktiv, in Consortium with iCmedia and the University of Lisbon, is a proud partner of the international project, the Influencers Trust Label, co-funded by the European Commission. The project aiming at the development of a Trust Label for Influencers to increase citizens’ awareness about what is, and what is not quality and reliable information.

In recent years, the figure of “influencers” has become gradually established, designating those profiles that come from the cultural, sports, artistic, political, or business fields among others, and whose opinions imply influence on the decisions of different social groups, playing an increasingly important role in the shaping of public opinion.
In this context, the project has developed a model that can be used by influencers as a tool to guarantee to their followers the reliability of the information content disseminated through their channels.
