Tackling disinformation is crucial for the development of the Information Society. To do so it is necessary to empower journalists in the production of trustworthy information, and to nurture an economic ecosystem centred on a secure circulation of contents. In this contribution we present an interdisciplinary approach that aims at (1) finding a balance between freedom of expression and other fundamental rights (i.e., privacy and data protection), (2) developing business models driven by the production of genuine content, (3) exploiting the potentials of distributed ledger systems to provide media certification.
