How It Started

DROG was founded with a simple but ambitious goal: to build the most effective community for countering disinformation in Europe and beyond.

We recognized that fighting disinformation requires more than just fact-checking or media literacy. It demands a multi-generational approach that adapts to evolving threats and leverages diverse expertise.

Through our DIM (Disinformation Intervention Model), we've mapped out six generations of counter-disinformation interventions, each responding to different challenges and paradigms. We're now pioneering Generation 6 interventions that focus on collective sensemaking and coordination capacity.
